Need a quick dessert for a party, bake sale, or just a peanut butter craving that won’t quit? These blondies have you covered. They’re also sturdy enough to pack in lunches or gift to friends (if you can part with them — no judgment if you can’t).

I love making these for after-school snacks, potlucks, or even just as a cozy weekend treat with a cold glass of milk or hot coffee. They come together in minutes and disappear just as fast.

Tips for Blondie Success

Don’t Overbake: The key to chewy blondies is pulling them from the oven when the center still looks slightly soft they’ll continue to set as they cool.

Customize It: Toss in chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, chopped peanuts, or even swirl in extra peanut butter on top before baking.

Searing the Beef

Sear beef fillets on high heat for 2 minutes per side to form a golden crust. Let it cool before proceeding to keep the beef tender.

Mushroom Duxelles

Cook the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to prevent soggy pastry. Aim for a thick, paste-like consistency.

Puff Pastry Handling

Keep the puff pastry cold to avoid softness. Chill if it becomes too soft, and score the top lightly without cutting through.

Notes

Preheat oven to 350F and line you 8x8 square pan with parchment paper, set aside.

In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set it aside.

In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix together the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter powder. Scrape the sides then add the vanilla and eggs. Scrape the sides and add the flour mixture.

Pour the blondie batter into the 8x8 pan . Fill the piping bag with peanut butter and pipe a zigzag pattern on the top of the batter. use a toothpick to create a swirl design and bake for 30-40 mins or until a toothpick come out clean when inserted in the center.

Allow the blondies to cool before slicing. I love to enjoy it with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, so good!
