Peanut butter fans will love these blondies with peanut butter where creamy peanut butter, peanut butter baking chips, and chopped peanuts all come together in one delicious treat.
I created this recipe during a move and let me tell you – stress eating blondies with peanut butter is not a bad thing.
I also make a lot of peanut butter desserts in my house. Plus, a lot of recipes with chocolate and peanut butter – the best combination ever!
If you feel the same way, try these peanut butter chocolate chip cookie bars, chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispies, or chocolate peanut butter protein balls.

Ingredients
See the recipe card for exact amounts.
- peanut butter: I use creamy butter blended with regular butter for the base of the recipe.
- sugar: white sugar and brown sugar for flavor and texture. Brown sugar offers a deeper flavor and helps create a softer texture.
- eggs: for texture and binding.
- flour: for structure. Make sure to weigh it for the most accurate measurement. I go by 120 grams per cup for the all-purpose flour I use.
- baking powder: for lift.
- baking chips: I use peanut butter baking chips. If you love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, try chocolate chips instead or a mix of both! Or reese’s pieces for more flavor and crunch!
- chopped peanuts: gives more peanutty flavor and a nice crunch.
Prep Tips
- Cream together the butter and sugars for a few minutes until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients, mix to combine.
- Finally, add the peanut butter chips and chopped peanuts.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until done. Use a toothpick to check if it’s cooked through if you like.
I cut this square into 16 for serving.
Storage
Store leftover blondies covered at room temperature for 4-5 days.
FAQs

This is the sort of thing I need this weekend. I am going to attempt a “square video” edit…and I just know I will need all the extra help I can get. These would be perfect to help me through the frustration I just know I am going to have.
Good luck with that Gloria, I want to try something like that myself sometime. Editing regular Youtube was hard enough. Leave me a link when you post it, I’d love to see 🙂 Have a great weekend.
We love any type of little blondie and I love the sound of the peanut butter flavour in these ones! Delicious!
Thanks Corina!
Oh dear – I’m totally there with you on the stress eating front. Good luck with this move! I can just imagine that theses yummy bars would help with the stress! Seriously though, the peanut butter chips in them sound perfect!
Thanks, I’m dreading the whole thing! Once I get some more stuff packed up, I’ll feel less stressed, I’m sure. 🙂
I love peanut butter and your blondies look and sound delicious. I hope your move goes well and you don’t end up doing too much stress eating.
Thanks Sarah 🙂

These look and sound delicious. Good luck with the packing, moving is very stressful, we’re planning a move in a few months time which I’m not looking forward to.

Thanks, I hope you like them 🙂
These looks so good! I’ve been taking break from carbs and sugar, but this looks like the perfect way to dive back in!!
I’ve really gotta lay off the carbs and sugar too and get back to normal eating 🙂
If I was a blondie, I would be this blondie. Pure peanut butter perfection! Pinning now and daydreaming until I have these in a pan in front of me!
Thanks Karly 🙂
