Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter or non-dairy alternative, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I use Jif or Jif Natural usually)

• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, use the paddle blade to beat butter & peanut butter together until light and fluffy.
Gradually add sugar and brown sugar, creaming well.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Add vanilla extract and beat just until mixed in.
Add the flour mixture in 3 additions.
Beat until well mixed.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spread in a well greased 9″ square baking pan. I usually use a glass 9″ square Pyrex pan for this.
Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until it looks set in the middle.
Enjoy a warm gooey brownie, or let cool completely and enjoy a chewy brownie!
