Here’s a delicious, easy-to-follow recipe for Peanut Butter Blondies—chewy, rich, and packed with peanut butter flavor:
🍫 Peanut Butter Blondies Recipe
Ingredients (for 9–12 squares):
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (plus extra for swirls)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven & prep pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Stir in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix batter
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
- Add peanut butter and optional chocolate chips. Stir gently until just combined.
- Create peanut butter swirl (optional)
- Drop small spoonfuls of extra peanut butter on top and swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Cool & slice
- Let blondies cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper.
- Slice into squares and enjoy!
Tips for Chewy Blondies
- Don’t overbake—blondies continue to firm up as they cool.
- Use lightly packed brown sugar for extra chewiness.
- For extra richness, drizzle melted chocolate on top after cooling.
If you want, I can also give a vegan version of peanut butter blondies that’s just as fudgy and delicious. Do you want me to do that?
