Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the vanilla extract and egg, blending until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, along with the quick oats, mini M&Ms, and chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 40 minutes to firm up.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolk together until fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Gradually add in the melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Carefully fold in the dry ingredient mixture along with the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- Pour the fudgy brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake the brownies for 15 minutes or until the edges appear set but the center remains slightly underbaked.
- While the brownies bake, flatten out the chilled cookie dough and distribute it evenly over the baked brownie layer.
- Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is lightly golden and the brownies are fully set.
Cooling
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For faster cooling, place the baking tray in the freezer for about 25 minutes.
- Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes
Allow your brownies to cool entirely before cutting. Accurate measurements are crucial for the best texture. Experiment with toppings for a unique twist.
