Thick and Chewy White Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies
Description
Thick and Chewy White Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies are a dense, moist baked treat featuring the complementary flavors of peanut butter and white chocolate. The batter starts with melted butter blended with creamy peanut butter and brown sugar, creating a rich base. Eggs add structure while salt balances the sweetness. Flour and baking powder provide the gentle rise needed for a soft but chewy texture.
White chocolate and peanut butter chips fold into the batter, intensifying the nutty and sweet profile. Baking begins uncovered for 15 minutes before the pan is covered with foil to finish baking for 15-18 minutes. This method helps the blondies cook through evenly while preserving moistness and creating slightly crisp edges.
Once cooled completely, the blondies cut into squares reveal their soft, chewy interior dotted with creamy white chocolate and peanut butter pockets. They make a satisfying dessert or snack when served at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted, 4 ounces (one stick
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 dark brown sugar packed, 3/4 cups
- 2 egg large, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt, table salt, or kosher salt will all work
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flaky, for sprinkling, optional; I used Maldon Sea Salt and think it's the best
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper; lightly grease the paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-heat. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and brown sugar, whisk well to combine.
- Whisk in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the salt, flour, and baking powder, mixing just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the pan, then sprinkle the top with additional white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, if desired. Bake the blondies for 15 minutes, then cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until they're light brown on the edges and top. Carefully remove them from the oven and cool completely before cutting.
