2Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan, or line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
⏱ 2 min - 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly for a minute or two.
⏱ 1 min - 3
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
⏱ 3 min - 4
Stir in the large egg and vanilla extract until they are fully incorporated into the wet ingredients.
⏱ 2 min - 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the blondies tough.
⏱ 3 min - 6
If desired, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
⏱ 1 min - 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
⏱ 1 min - 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
⏱ 25 min - 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang and cutting them into squares. This ensures they set properly and are easy to cut.
