Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to facilitate easy removal later.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter along with the melted butter. Stir these ingredients together until they are smooth and well-combined. Next, incorporate the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing thoroughly until the mixture appears creamy and uniform.

      Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully blended in before adding the next. Afterward, mix in the vanilla extract until fully integrated.

        Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring they are well mixed.

          Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix gently until just combined; it's important not to over-mix – a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.

            Add Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the chopped peanuts (if you choose to use them) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Spread the Batter: Pour the combined batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the batter, smoothing the top for consistent baking.

                Bake the Blondies: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. They are ready when the edges have turned a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Cool Down: Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting them into squares. This cooling period helps set their texture.

                    Serve and Store: Enjoy these delicious blondies warm, or serve them at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week to keep them fresh.
