Peanut Butter Blondies are moist and soft, no dry blondies here! They are full of peanut butter flavor and are stuffed with milk chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter chips.
Peanut Butter Blondies have long been one of my go to desserts for feeding a crowd, because they are easy and quick to throw together. On top of that and even more important in my eyes, they are down right delicious. Also as previously stated, they are moist! I love blondies, but they are a dessert that have a tendency to turn out crusty and hard.
However, as long as you follow my instructions, including completely, absolutely, positively, entirely avoiding over-baking them, these Peanut Butter Blondies should turn out every bit as moist as this post claims.
Let me let you in on a little secret. I have discovered that brownies and blondies generally turn out more moist if I melt the butter to a liquid state (and peanut butter, if using) during the mixing process, rather than creaming them together in their solid state. There must be some science to back up this idea, but science has always been the bane of my existence, so I have no idea what it is ;).
If you weren’t aware, My Cowboy and I are peanut butter-o-holics through and through. Especially so if it’s mixed with chocolate! I have also mentioned before that I absolutely adore peanut butter and white chocolate combined. To be honest, it all started with this recipe. My older sister once told me how amazing peanut butter blondies tasted with white chocolate, so when I first started making these Peanut Butter Blondies, I decided to add some. It was one of the best baking decisions I have ever made! I don’t know what it is, but the white chocolate in these bars just sets them over the edge. Therefore, whatever you do, don’t skip the white chocolate chips!
Peanut butter, together with milk chocolate and white chocolate make up the perfect flavor combination for one delicious blondie. In conclusion, if you love peanut butter and you love blondies, then these are for you!
Happy baking!
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar. Quickly remove from heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir to combine well.
- While the wet mixture is cooling, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set that aside and add the eggs to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine. To ensure the chocolate chips don't get melted, make sure the wet ingredients aren't too hot. It's OK if they are warm, but if you think the mixture may need more time to cool down, go ahead and wait a few more minutes. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix well, but don't over-mix.
- Finally, fold in the milk chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter chips. Bake about 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't over-bake or they won't be soft and moist! You can eat these plain or load them up with ice cream and hot fudge! Enjoy!
