Peanut Butter Blondies

Need a peanut butter fix? These Peanut Butter Blondies are a must try! Chewy, gooey peanut butter bars with a touch of cinnamon. Oh, and they’re a breeze to bake!

I’ve been slacking in the baked goodies department lately. It’s been bread nonstop – sweets, not so much.

I decided to bake an old tried & true to get back into the swing of things. I found this recipe about 10 years ago and fell in LOVE. I’ve been making it ever since when I have a need for a peanut butter fix.

Want a healthy(ish) peanut butter treat? Visit here for my Low Carb Peanut Butter & Cream Cheese Protein Bars. Tastes like a peanut butter cheesecake!

What makes this recipe interesting is the addition of cinnamon. You might raise an eyebrow at it first – peanut butter & cinnamon? Trust me – they taste wonderful together. I find myself pairing peanut butter & cinnamon often in my baked goodies – especially in breads & muffins.

These Peanut Butter Blondies are a nice & easy bake. You’ll have everything mixed up and ready for the oven in under 10 minutes.

I prefer creamy peanut butter – but if you’d like some texture go ahead and use the crunchy stuff.

These bars will bake for 20 -25 minutes. They don’t pull from the sides as much as a brownie would. Look for the edges to be golden brown and the center just about set. Still a little wiggle to it – but set.

Hope you enjoy!
