Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and peanut butter until smooth.
