Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams creamy peanut butter
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the peanut butter until streaks of peanut butter remain visible. Do not overmix—this creates pockets of peanut butter in the blondies for added flavor.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using), ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares or bars and serve.
