Ingredients
Scale
Blondies:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

- Cool and Serve: Let blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking.
- You can substitute almond butter for a different flavor.
