Ah yes 😄—Peanut Butter Blondies—rich, chewy, and full of nutty flavor. Think of them as the peanut butter version of a classic brownie, but golden and buttery instead of chocolatey. Here’s a reliable recipe:
🥜 Peanut Butter Blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped peanuts
How to Make It
1. Prep Oven & Pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold into wet mixture until just combined.
4. Swirl in Peanut Butter
- Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the batter and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
5. Optional Add-ins
- Fold in chocolate chips or chopped peanuts if desired.
6. Bake
- Bake 25–30 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).
7. Cool & Slice
- Let cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then lift out using parchment and slice into squares.
Tips for Perfect Blondies
- Don’t overbake—they continue to firm up as they cool.
- Brown sugar gives chewiness; granulated sugar adds structure.
- Chunky peanut butter adds texture, creamy gives a smoother swirl.
- Serve with ice cream for an indulgent dessert!
If you want, I can also give a super fudgy, extra peanut-buttery version that tastes like candy bars in blondie form—basically decadent heaven in every bite.
Do you want me to do that?
