- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix melted butter and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in brown sugar until well combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract.

- Cool and cut: Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
