¼ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly

4 (0.75- ounce) peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped (or 20 mini peanut butter cups)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients (through salt), stirring well with a whisk.

Combine peanut butter and next 4 ingredients (through eggs), stirring well.

Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture, stir until combined.

Scrape the batter into a 9-inch square metal baking pan lightly coated with cooking spray, and arrange the peanut butter cups over batter.

Cool in pan on a wire rack.
