Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter, whisking until fully combined.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smooth emulsification.
- Do not overmix after adding flour to maintain a chewy texture.
- Avoid overbaking; a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
- Use conventional processed peanut butter, not natural style, for consistent texture.
- Let blondies cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
