Simple Ingredients

  • Flour | I prefer unbleached all-purpose flour for all my baked goods, but all-purpose flour also works.
  • Butter | I used salted butter, if using unsalted butter and ¼ teaspoon salt to the recipe.
  • Peanut butter | Your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter should do! I suggest using a no-stir peanut butter. Keep in mind natural peanut butter is usually too oily for this recipe.
  • Egg | Bring your egg to room temperature for 30 minutes or so before baking, I use large eggs. 
  • Brown sugar | Bring a rich sweetness with brown sugar– I like to use light brown sugar, but dark is also delicious.
  • Vanilla | Add creamy notes with vanilla extract. 
  • Chocolate chips | Enhance the peanut butter flavor with semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. 
  • Peanut butter cups | I like to use Reese’s mini peanut butter cups.
  • Salt | Add kosher salt to bring out the salty-sweet flavors.

How to Make Peanut Butter Blondie Recipe

Get started by preheating the oven to 350° F (175° C) and lining a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Then, sift the flour into a small bowl and set it aside.

A baking pan has parchment paper lining.
Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
A sift runs flour through into bowl.
Sift flour into a small bowl.

Fresh Tips

  • This recipe is written for an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Adjust accordingly if you’re using a different size. A pie dish with an 8-inch diameter will also work.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, line the pan with aluminum foil and add some cooking spray.

Add the room-temperature butter and egg to a large bowl and combine using a spoon, hand mixer or stand mixer. 

Next, mix in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.

A bowl holds soft butter and a raw egg.
Mix soft butter and egg together.
Peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla are added to bowl.
Add the Peanut Butter, Brown Sugar, Vanilla, and blend.

Carefully add the flour to the wet ingredients and combine with a spoon. Try not to overmix!

Fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and use the back of the spoon to smooth the top.

Flour is added to mixture in bowl.
Add sifted flour and stir until combined.
Chocolate chips are added to mixture.
Add Chocolate Chips and mix.

Now, place the peanut butter cups on top of the batter evenly. Push the cups down so the top of each is even with the surface of the blondie batter, and sprinkle the top with chocolate chips.

A spoon dips out some batter from bowl into pan.
Spoon batter into pan.
Peanut butter cups sit on surface of batter in a pan.
Distribute Peanut Butter Cups evenly over surface of batter.
A hand spoons chocolate chips over surface of batter in pan.
Push each cup down so the top is even with surface of the batter, then sprinkle chocolate chips.

Slip the square pan into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (try and avoid the chocolate).

Then, remove the blondies to a wire rack and allow the peanut butter bars cool in the pan at least 15 minutes before slicing. I recommend using a plastic knife to slice your blondies cleanly,  Satisfy your chocolate and peanut butter craving with this delicious blondie recipe!

Fresh Tips

  • Chocolate lovers could drizzle the bars with melted milk chocolate.
  • This is an easy one bowl recipe, but you may use an electric  mixer or hand mixer, if preferred.
A pan of baked blondies rests on wire rack on table.
Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

High Altitude Adjustments for Peanut Butter Blondies

  • Increase oven temperature to 375° F (190° C) 
  • Increase flour by two tablespoons  
  • Reduce the brown sugar to ¾ cup
  • Begin checking at around 18-20 minutes.

Next time you crave salty and sweet peanut butter treats, try my Easy Buckeye Bars, Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies, or these indulgent Chocolate Fluffernutter Whoopie Pies – Yum!

Variations

Peanut Butter Bars Gluten Free

Replace the flour with ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour and ½ cup of almond flour or oat flour; make sure the rest of your ingredients are gluten-free and bake as directed. Note: All Reese’s are gluten-free, except for their seasonal shapes, such as Christmas trees or eggs.

Low-Carb Peanut Butter Bars

Swap out the peanut butter cups for a no-sugar alternative chopped into chunks. Replace the flour with almond flour and use sugar-free substitutes for the brown sugar and chocolate chips. Not guilty pleasure!

Malt Peanut Butter Blondies

Add a quarter cup of malted milk powder for a delicious, malty flavor. (Note: Malt is not usually gluten-free.)

Gooey-er Peanut Butter Blondies

Use slightly cooled melted butter for the recipe instead of room temperature butter. Similar to this chewy blondie recipe. 

Diagonal view of rows of blondies.

Substitutions

  • Use the thin Reese’s cups instead of miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups.
  • Switch the creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
  • Try my Homemade Bourbon Vanilla Extract Recipe, or try another extract, like almond.
  • Replace the semi-sweet with white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or dark chocolate chips.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Butter can be replaced with margarine or a dairy-free butter substitute for a vegan version.
  • If you’re looking for an egg-free option, consider using applesauce, flax egg, mashed banana, yogurt, or commercial egg replacers to maintain moisture and binding.
  • Use Reese’s Pieces instead of the peanut butter cups, or add them to the recipe for extra Reese’s flavor!

Peanut Free Blondie Cookie Bars

Use other nut butter for this recipe, like sunflower seed butter (nut free) and purchase sun butter cups; or try almond butter or cashew butter if there is no tree nut allergy.

Storage Tips for Peanut Butter Cup Pie

Countertop – Covered or sealed in an airtight container, the brownies will keep on the counter at room temperature for up to four days.

Refrigerate – Store leftover blondies in the fridge in an airtight container or tightly sealed with plastic wrap for five to seven days.

How to Freeze Blondies – Once the recipe completely cools, wrap it in foil then place into an airtight freezer baggie; freeze up to three months. Then, thaw in the refrigerator overnight to enjoy the following day. Thaw on counter. Or wrap individual blondies in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container, then it becomes a lunch treat or grab-and-go snack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brownies are known for their fudgy or cakey chocolate flavor, while blondies may have a similar texture but have a chewy chocolate chip cookies taste instead.

Can underbaked blondies be returned to the oven?

Sure! If you remove the pan and realize your recipe isn’t quite finished baking, return them to the oven for a few minutes. Or as your blondies cool, they will retain their shape a little better. 

Can I bake peanut butter blondies in a 9×13-inch pan?

Yes. this recipe is written for an 8×8-inch pan, but you can double the recipe to fit a 9×13-inch pan if necessary.

  • Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean, avoiding the chocolate chips.

Notes

This recipe doubles for a 9×13-inch pan; you may need to bake them for a few extra minutes. 

Make a peanut butter cup pie! Spread into a 9-inch pie plate, press the peanut butter cups in and bake! Bake a little less time. 
TOP TIP: Don’t overbake these blondies! They should lose their gloss on the top and barely turn golden brown. 

Storage Tips

These peanut butter blondies are best when stored in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 5 days. 
Freeze for longer storage | Cool blondies completely, then wrap tight in plastic wrap (TIP: wrap individually for quick thaw and grab and go treats), then place in an airtight baggie. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter. 

Variations & Substitutions

Malted Peanut Butter Blondies | Add ¼ cup of malted milk powder for a malty flavor!
Use the thin peanut butter cups instead of miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bars | Replace the flour with ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour and ½ cup of almond flour or oat flour; make sure the rest of your ingredients are gluten-free and bake as directed.
Low-Carb Peanut Butter Bars | Replace the peanut butter cups with a no-sugar peanut butter cup and chop into chunks. Use all almond flour and replace the sugar and chocolate chips with sugar-free substitutes. I like Lakanto brown sugar and Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips.
