Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add 2 large eggs to the peanut butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of Reese's Pieces candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. You can sprinkle a few extra Reese's Pieces on top for decoration if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the blondies into squares or rectangles, yielding about 16 servings. Serve and enjoy your delicious Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Blondies!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to tough, dense blondies.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the blondies to maintain a gooey center.
- Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- For a fun variation, try using different candy mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups.
