Equipment
9x9 inch pan
mixing bowl
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅔ cup grape jelly
Instructions
- Set oven to 350˚F and line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper, and grease lightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, and mix again.
- Add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix gently on low speed, or fold in with a rubber scraper to incorporate until fully blended and smooth.
- Fold the mixture, except for about ⅔ cup, into prepared pan and spread so that it reaches the sides evenly.
- Spread jelly over entire base, then add the remaining dough randomly over the jelly.
- Bake for 20 minutes, check. If it is browned nicely remove. If not, set for 5 more minutes and cover with foil so it will not brown too much. Remove and set on cooling rack.
- Once cooled, use parchment to remove from pan to slice. Wipe knife with each.
Notes
Heat jelly for 20 seconds in the microwave if this is easier
