Peanut Butter Blondies

A confession: I had never heard of blondies until Molly Yeh shared a recipe for them a few years ago. I grew up with brownies. In my mind a blondie was just a weird brownie. After making Molly’s blondies my mind was changed and my adventure with blondies began. That is how we end up with, ladies and gents, the peanut butter blondies.

What will you need for these
peanut butter blondies?

1. 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (that translated to 3/4 cup butter)
2. 1 cup Peanut Butter (I used creamy)
3. 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
4. 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
5. 2 Eggs
6. 1 TBSP Vanilla Extract
7. 2 cups Gluten Free 1:1 Flour
8. 1 TSP Baking Power

Equipment:
9×13 baking dish (greased)

How to make them:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2. In a microwave or a pot on the stove, mix together your butter and peanut butter. Melt them. If you do this in the microwave, do it in 30 second increments.
3. Mix the peanut butter and butter with brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour and baking powder and stir!
4. Transfer your mixture to the fridge for 5 – 10 minutes until it has had time to cool off. You want the dough to not be warm the touch.
5. Spread the dough in your baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Make sure it is set in the center. Insert a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean.
6. Let the bars cool and then eat up!

Why should you make these?

For one thing, it will make you question if you ever want or need a brownie again. Blondies are absolutely delicious. This is a great 1:1 recipe, so, if you are gluten free or not, you can make them. You can also store these in an airtight container for about a week and they will still be great!
