Ingredients
  

For the Blondies
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Provides moisture and richness; you can use salted butter but reduce the added salt.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and depth; dark brown sugar can give a richer flavor.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together; a flax egg is a great vegan substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; always choose pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • ½ cup Peanut Butter This is the star ingredient that gives a creamy base; feel free to try crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; omit this if using salted butter.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Forms the body of the blondies; for a healthier option, swap with whole wheat flour.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Blondies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, lightly greased.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Crack in the large egg and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated and slightly thickened.
  4. Fold in the peanut butter until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
  5. Incorporate the salt and all-purpose flour, gently folding until the flour disappears and the dough is thick and sticky.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to fill the corners.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and slice into squares.
