Peanut Butter Blondies
Course:
Dessert
Ingredients
- 170 grams Butter (melted & slightly cooled)
- 400 grams Brown Sugar
- 190 grams Peanut Butter (Skippy is best)
- 2 Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 250 grams Plain Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 260 grams Chocolate Chips (Reese’s Pieces are preferable)
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Adjust oven rack to the center rack position.
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch metal or glass baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars out of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined.
- Whisk in the peanut butter, then add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk it all until completely combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the batter together using a rubber spatula. Batter is very thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips / Reese’s Pieces.
- Spread evenly into prepared pan and sprinkle with a couple extra Reese’s Pieces on top (for looks), if desired.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Test the blondies with a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the pan. If it comes out with wet batter, the blondies are not done. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the blondies are done. Keep checking every 2 minutes until you have moist crumbs. They taste a little dry if you over-bake!
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the bars out of the pan using the paper overhang on the sides and cut into squares.
- Cover leftover bars and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
