Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8-inch square (or equivalent size) baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine for a chewy texture).
- Let the blondies cool completely before slicing them.
Notes and Tips:
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: To keep your blondies chewy, mix the ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture, so be gentle when incorporating the dry ingredients.
- Let Them Cool: For best results, let the blondies cool in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and makes it easier to cut them into neat squares.
- Storage Tips: Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge, and they will stay fresh for up to a week.
- Customize with Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize the blondies by adding other mix-ins like peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
- Check for Doneness: Since every oven is different, check the blondies with a toothpick after 22 minutes. It should come out with a few moist crumbs for the perfect chewy texture, not completely clean.
