Instructions
Preheat the oven.

Transfer the batter to the pan.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9 x 9-inch baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the brownies.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back lightly when touched.

Slice and serve.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve.
Notes
To make these Peanut Butter Brownies gluten free, replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Confirm that the peanut butter, baking soda, vanilla extract, sugars, butter, and salt are certified gluten free or labeled gluten free. Use clean baking tools, bowls, and a prepared pan to prevent cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients.
