When creating my Peanut Butter Blondies, I experimented with different ratios of peanut butter to sugar until I found the perfect balance. The result is a wonderfully moist blonde brownie that doesn't dry out, making it a definite crowd-pleaser. I even like to add a little salt on top just before baking for that sweet and salty combination, which really elevates the flavor!

One of the best tips I can share is to use room temperature ingredients—especially the butter and eggs. This small adjustment makes it easier to combine everything smoothly, resulting in that perfect chewy texture that everyone craves. Pair these blondies with a glass of cold milk, and you've got an unbeatable game day snack!

Perfecting Your Blondies

Achieving the ideal texture for your Peanut Butter Blondies is all about balancing the ingredients. The creamy peanut butter provides moisture and richness, while the combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar creates that signature chewy consistency. It’s essential to mix the sugars and peanut butter until fully combined and glossy, as this ensures a uniform batter that bakes evenly. Mixing too much or too little can result in blondies that are either too dense or crumbly.

When incorporating the dry ingredients, be gentle to avoid overmixing. The flour should be folded in just until combined, which helps maintain that soft texture. If you notice the batter feeling a bit too thick, a tablespoon or two of milk can be added to loosen it up. The goal is a thick, but pourable batter that holds its shape while baking.

Customizing Your Blondies

One of the great aspects of these Peanut Butter Blondies is their versatility. You can switch out the chocolate chips for other mix-ins like butterscotch chips, chopped nuts, or even dried fruit for a unique twist. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using natural peanut butter, which has a higher oil content and can result in an even richer flavor. Just be cautious with the added salt, as natural peanut butter can be salt-free.

For a fun variation, try adding a swirl of jam or a cream cheese mixture on top before baking. This can add a delightful contrast to the sweet blondies. Bake the blondies with a bit of foil tenting if they start to brown too quickly, to ensure even cooking without burning the edges.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Blondies

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Make sure to gather all your ingredients before starting for the best results!

Directions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated. Next, add in the baking powder and salt.

Add the Dry Ingredients

Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake the Blondies

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!

These blondies can be served warm or at room temperature.

Pro Tips

For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the top after cooling!

Storage Tips

These Peanut Butter Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider refrigerating them where they can last for up to 2 weeks. To maintain their texture, allow them to cool completely before storing, as excess moisture can lead to sogginess.

For longer storage, you can freeze the blondies. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to restore their chewy goodness.

Serving Suggestions

These blondies are easily a showstopper on any dessert table, especially during game day festivities. To elevate them further, serve warm with a side of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of hot fudge. This combination creates a delightful contrast between warm and cold, leaving everyone craving more.

For a fun presentation, cut the blondies into star shapes using a cookie cutter. This adds a festive touch perfect for the Super Bowl. Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top just before serving can also enhance the flavor, balancing out the sweetness with a subtle crunch and depth.
