A rich, fudgy brownie base meets the playful crunch and chew of a classic monster cookie — loaded with oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and colorful candy pieces.
Brownie Base:
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp espresso powder (optional)
Mix-Ins:
½ cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates
¼ cup peanut butter chips (optional)
¼ cup creamy peanut butter (for swirling)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line and grease a 9×9-inch pan.
Whisk melted butter with sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
Sift in cocoa, flour, salt, and espresso powder. Stir until smooth.
Fold in oats, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and peanut butter chips.
Spread batter in pan. Dollop peanut butter on top and swirl.
Bake 28–34 minutes, until center is set with moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing. Chill for clean cuts.
Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
