How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using mixer or whisk, beat together brown sugar, peanut butter and oil until smooth.
- Add the flour and mix together until combined. Add in milk and mix together. Fold in peanut butter cups.
- Transfer blondie batter into prepared pan and place in the oven to bake for 25-27 minutes, or until center is set and not wet in the center. The middle of the blondies will firm up while they cool.
- Cool blondies in pan completely before cutting into large or small squares.
How To Make Vegan Peanut Butter Blondies Recipe
To make vegan peanut butter blondies, replace mini peanut butter cups with vegan peanut butter cups. Or use this homemade peanut butter cup recipe with vegan options for this peanut butter cup recipe! There’s already no eggs being used, so no worries on that front.
Blondie Tips
- Allow blondies to cool completely before slicing. Blondies may crumble if still warm.
- Want more servings? Make a double batch of peanut butter blondies recipe and bake in 9×13 pan. Bake 30-35 minutes. You can find the options on the recipe card to double and triple the recipe if desired.
- Don’t over bake blondies to keep them fudgy and gooey. That’s what blondies are all about! Fudgy and gooey!
- Look for the blondies doneness by the edges of the blondies turning golden brown. The middle of the blondies may not look done, but they will continue baking once you pull them out of the oven. The top of the blondies should not be wet.
