One Bowl Peanut Butter Blondies

I love quick and easy desserts, and as someone who always dreads doing the dishes, I especially love one bowl desserts! These peanut butter blondies are so delicious, full of creamy peanut butter and melted chocolate. And just dirtying one bowl? Added bonus!

My daughter loves helping me bake, and since this peanut butter blondie recipe is so foolproof, this is a perfect recipe for her to help me on. It’s so cute how excited she is when they come out of the oven (but let’s be honest, I get pretty excited too haha!).

I love this peanut butter blondies recipe for picnics, bbqs, or any occasion where I want a dessert idea for a crowd. They’re so quick to throw together, and super easy to transport. I pre-cut them at home, wrap them in plastic wrap, and they’re good to go!

Key Ingredients In Peanut Butter Blondies:

• Peanut Butter! No surprise there, right? You’ll notice in the recipe below that I mention Justin’s peanut butter. It’s my favorite because the flavor is so good, and their ingredient list is so clean. For a recipe with so much peanut butter, that’s important! Use whatever peanut butter you personally love! I recommend creamy for this recipe.
• Brown Sugar: brown sugar helps keep these peanut butter blondies moist and flavorful. Since brown sugar is made from molasses, it has a deeper flavor than granulated sugar that I love paired with peanut butter. We use a combination of the sugars here for the best flavors!
• Chocolate chips! Because is there a better combination than peanut butter and chocolate? I think not! Technically the chocolate chips are optional, but I would be so sad to skip them! You can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips. We’re a dark chocolate family so it’s always semi-sweet for us!

Instructions

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside. (This ceramic baking dish is my favorite!)

In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter. Melt in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until the butter and peanut butter are just liquefied. Mix the two together with a whisk. Whisk in the vanilla, eggs and yolk, and both sugars until well combined. Add flour, salt and baking powder, and combine using a spatula. Add the chocolate chips.

Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting in, if you can stand it!
