It's Peanut Butter [Blondie] Time

I'll have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of peanut butter but I know there are many people out there who love the stuff. If that's you, you'll love this recipe.

If you're like me, give it a go because you might think otherwise. My whole family have never been big fans of peanut butter, but these blondies went down a treat - so much so they got demolished within four days! 

The good thing about this recipe is that the peanut butter flavour isn't too over powering, and with the sweetness of the chocolate chips it creates a perfect balance.

Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar

1/2 cup softened butter

1 cup smooth peanut butter

2tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1tsp baking powder

chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line square baking/brownie tin.
2. Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, vanilla and eggs until well incorporated. 
3. Mix in flour and baking powder. Add in chocolate chips.
4. Spread into baking tin. Bake for 30mins or until golden brown.
5. Allow to cool in pan before transferring to wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Using cups is usually an American way of cooking/baking and not often seen in British recipes. So if you do have a measuring cup PERFECT. If not don't worry use anything cup sized (teacup, mug, glass etc) and just make sure you use the same one throughout so the ratios are still the same. 

Give these ago and tell me what you think!
