Notes

The description provides the ingredients but not the detailed method. The mixing, pan preparation, and baking steps are therefore a minimal organization based on the ingredients provided. The temperature of 180 °C and the approximately 40-minute baking time come from the comments, not the main description. The quantities of the chocolate chips, peanut butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping are not specified.
