Servings 9 blondies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang along two sides.
  • Add the peanut butter, packed brown sugar, and egg to a medium bowl.
  • Stir until the mixture is smooth, thick, and completely combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a spatula to press and spread it into an even layer.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, checking near the 20-minute mark. The edges should be set and lightly browned while the center should look set but remain slightly soft.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely.
  • Lift them from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 9 squares.

Notes

  • Regular creamy peanut butter generally gives the most consistent texture. If using natural peanut butter, stir it thoroughly before measuring.
  • Avoid overbaking. These blondies continue to firm as they cool, so the center doesn't need to feel completely firm when they leave the oven.
  • For smaller servings, cut the pan into 16 squares instead of 9.
