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!

I was craving something peanut buttery and these were exactly what I was hoping for! I doubled the recipe and put in a 9×13 pan and baked for 20 minutes. They were buttery and delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Omg!!! So simple to make and amazingly delicious!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Found you recipe for my PB loving sister in laws bday and it was such an easy recipe! Added some white chips to the batter and caramel chips melted on top for frosting. Thanks!!
Happy you found me and enjoyed the recipe.
I would like to double the recipe. Will this work and should I use a 13×9 pan or larger?
Yes, you can double and yes, use a 9×13
Thank you!
Do you cook for the same amount of time with the 9×13
You need to double the recipe if you want to cook them in a 9×13-inch pan. Otherwise, they will be too thin. Yes, same length of time.
Very good ! Doubled the recipe, baked in 9×13 and added Reeses pieces to the top. Thank you for such a yummy recipe.
These look so good! I am gaining weight just looking at them! Thank you!!!!
I love this recipe but I was wondering could you use regular sugar instead of brown sugar
You can substitute 1 c white sugar + 1 T Molasses for each cup of brown sugar. My mother had a VERY similar recipe when I was a girl that just used white sugar.
I have these in the oven now…I added chopped peanut butter cups to the top before baking…
As much as we love our brownies, it is impossible to resist a sweet and gooey blondie at any time. We love this recipe, but would like to make it with an alternative nut-butter, perhaps almond or cashew. Do you think this substitute would work?
I do think either almond or cashew butter would work. However, all the almond butter I’ve ever used is thicker than peanut butter, if this is the case with what you’re using, you’ll probably want to increase the butter by a couple of tablespoons.
I was in a pinch and looked up easy recipes, this came up so I gave it a try. Absolutely delicious, I stuck to the exact recipe and added crumbled peanut butter chocolate candies to the top, my whole family devoured them. Thank you!!
I concur, never too much peanut butter!
