Ingredients
Scale
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, honey, and peanut butter until smooth and combined.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped honey roasted peanuts on top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift out and slice into squares.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies soft and chewy.
- Cool completely before slicing to help maintain clean edges.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to keep blondies fresh for days.
