How to Make Monster Cookie Fudgy Brownies Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 4: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Step 6: Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and M&M’s until evenly distributed.
Step 7: Spoon the monster cookie mixture over the brownie batter in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the top.
Step 8: If desired, gently swirl the monster cookie topping into the brownie batter for a marbled effect.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 10: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
