Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup peanuts optional (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with a nonstick baking spray. A foil liner could also be placed in the pan for easier removal; spray the foil with the nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the peanut butter and butter with a spatula until blended. Add in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Set aside. *Don’t use a mixer unless you prefer the brownies to be cakey*
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Top with the optional peanuts, peanut butter chips, or milk chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Mine took about 27 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Notes
- Storage: Store peanut butter blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Peanuts: In place of the peanuts, you could sub and use some peanut butter chips or milk chocolate chips.
- For a richer tasting blondie, you can swap the light brown sugar for dark.
- It's best to mix the blondie batter by hand rather than use a stand mixer. A stand mixer can over-process the ingredients and make them more cake-like.
- Make sure that your oven is fully pre-heated and take care not to overcook them!
