- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

- Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, dollop with peanut butter, then top with the remaining batter. Use a knife to swirl gently without fully mixing.
