I have a lot of dessert recipes with peanut butter on callmepme.com. However, I only have one savory recipe that I can think of, and it’s the peanut
Tips for making Peanut Butter Blondies
- First, what’s the difference between brownies and blondies? Brownies have cocoa in them. Blondies do not. Sometimes blondies are called ‘blond brownies’.
- As well, this recipe is made in one bowl, without a mixer.
- Additionally, this makes the perfect amount, so you don’t have to worry about eating them for days, not that that would be a bad thing!
- Typically, blondies have mix-ins such as walnuts, pecans, and white or dark chocolate chips. I chose to leave my Peanut
Butter Blondies plain. If you want more flavor and texture, feel free to add up to a cup of your choice to mix in. - As hard as it will be, wait until the blondies are cool before cutting. Otherwise, you risk them falling apart. If, however, you can’t wait (I understand that, and neither could I.) Scoop your blondie in a bowl and eat it with a spoon! Oh, by the way, it’s really good, covered with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!

recipe does not list peanut butter as an ingredient . Also, what is parchment paper spray?
Yes 5th ingredient down is peanut butter. I’m not sure where you’re seeing ‘parchment paper spray’ I didn’t see that in the post.
Very good, simple recipe although I recommend using parchment where the recipe calls for aluminum foil. Delicious, great texture, and a big hit with the whole family.
Super easy and very good thank you
…Easiest blondie recipe yet! Just made these, and they are just the scratch to the “I want somethin’ with peanut butter” itch! They are officially going into rotation with me!!!
Yay! I’m so happy you liked them. I just love the texture of these. Thanks for commenting! ~ Paula
12/24/2022. I made these today for Christmas Eve. I doubled the recipe and used a 9X13 pan. After readying comments what I did different was to beat the butter and sugar until almost fluffy. After adding the other ingredients I baked this for 60 minutes at the 350*. The end result is PERFECT AND DELICIOUS bloodies with a chewy center and a slight crunch on top.
I’m not sure what went wrong but mine never seemed to cook through. I used regular PB and followed the recipe exactly! I cooked for 20, added 5 more min, then another 5 and another 5, still never cooked through. Flavor was ok though.
Hmmmm, that’s interesting. They are gooey but they should have set in that length of time.
My husband is a picky eater and was craving sweets. I only had peanut butter in the house so this recipe attracted me since I didn’t need cream, chocolate, etc. He had never had a blondie but loves peanut butter cookies. After making these, I think these will be the main dessert I make! Better than peanut butter cookies! My family of 4 almost ate the whole pan in 1 night!
By the time I was ready to “pour” into Pyrex, it was too thick (maybe due to my cold house) so improvised and added a dash of canola oil and a half cup water + (1/8c nonfat dried milk which I hear makes any baked item more chewy….) after this, it was portable. Added chopped honey roasted pecans on top (so the kids at dinner will second guess mowing these down haha!) Will report back with how it goes! Thanks!!!
I made these with a jar of pistachio and Rose butter I had in the cupboard getting close bb date too expensive and good to throw away and omg they were amazing. Have since made with peanut butter still very good but not as scrumptious as the Pistachio butter a pity it’s so expensive although maybe that’s a good thing…
Oh. My. 😍 That sounds wonderful. I haven’t tried Pistachio Butter! I’m putting it on my list! I bought some very expensive pecan butter for a recipe and it was so scrumptious!!!
These were so good. The outside has a texture similar to shortbread, they totally metled in my mouth. I’m going to make these again but with less sugar and a little more peanut butter, maybe PB powder.
Salted butter or non Salted?
unsalted
I’ve made this recipe several times and everyone always loves them. I usually use coconut oil 1:1 for butter, which offers a tiny little twist on the flavor that I really like.
Great tip, Thanks!!
Hi – I would LOVE to try this recipe out.. do u think the results would be different if I browned the butter, and used a homemade peanut butter miso????
They def be different. Browned butter would be good, not sure about the pb miso
