Ingredients
For the Blondie Base:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
For the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirls:
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. -
Prepare the Blondie Base:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. -
Make the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirls:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds to soften it slightly, then stir until smooth.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. -
Assemble the Blondies:
Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter and melted chocolate on top of the batter. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the peanut butter and chocolate into the batter in a marble pattern. -
Bake the Blondies:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. The edges should be golden and the center should be set. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
- You can use milk chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter, milder chocolate taste.
