Ingredients
  

Group: Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed tightly
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Group: Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This crucial step ensures your blondies bake evenly.
  2. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugars. Whisk until creamy and glossy to achieve a lovely texture.
  4. Add in the creamy peanut butter, followed by the eggs and vanilla. Beat until well combined, ensuring no egg streaks remain.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, folding gently.
  6. Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, relishing the sight of them throughout the mixture.
  7. Transfer the batter to your prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until lightly golden on top.
  8. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares for the best flavor.
