Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Blondies
Prep: 15 minutes Bake: ~30 minutes or until center bakes through
I tried blondies before and did poorly, but this recipe from Sweetest Menu was great. Super easy and shows me the mistakes that I made. I had a lot of fun making this and recommend it.
Ingredients
1 stick melted butter
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg with an extra yolk
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Chocolate chips as you like
Prep
Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C)
Whisk together the eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla, and peanut butter. You don’t want to be too harsh here, just a gentle whisk
Add the flour and baking powder
Stir until it’s a nice smooth batter
Add the chocolate chips
Add to a prepared 8x8 tin. I used glass, which caused issues with the center baking. I had to keep baking the center after removing the outsides that were done before it was ready, probably like an extra 10 minutes or so. Using a metal tin would allow this to bake much better I believe.
Bake for at least the 30 minutes and check the center, it will start to brown to know it’s done
Afterthoughts
I wish I paid attention to pan type but the taste was amazing. The peanut butter was nice and creamy and the chocolate chips weren’t overpowering but nice to have. When I finished baking it correctly, it was soft with the perfect crisp on the edges. This a a heavy dessert but one worth having.
