White Chocolate Brownies with Peanut Butter – Delicious Blondie Recipe

These white chocolate brownies are made with peanut butter chips to give a nice change from the traditional look of a brownie. They have a lighter appearance, and the taste is a bit lighter, too.

Swapping out the type of chocolate used also gives this sweet treat a new name – a blonde brownie, also known as a blondie. It’s easy to see why from the color!

Normally, a blondie has brown sugar to give it a butterscotch flavor, but for today’s recipe, we are going to take some liberty and use peanut butter instead.

This recipe is very easy to prepare, and the taste is delicious with creamy white chocolate and a trio of three baking morsels – dark chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter chips.

Ingredients for peanut butter blondies

To make these white chocolate brownies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces white chocolate morsels
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of peanut butter chips

Making these white chocolate brownies

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Melt the butter and 1/2 of the white chocolate chips in a pan over a medium heat until they have melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the rest of the white chocolate chips. Stir until well blended and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar until fluffy and slightly thickened. Add in the vanilla extract and all-purpose flour and mix until everything is well combined.

Fold in the peanut butter and chocolate chips by hand, being careful not to overmix the batter.

Spread the mixture into a greased and floured 8 x 8-inch pan.

Cook for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on the top. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean.

The dark chocolate and peanut butter chips are heavy, so they will fall to the base of the mixture, making an interesting chocolate-peanut butter crust.

Cool for one hour and then cut into 16 slices.

These brownies cut beautifully with crisp and clean edges.  The appearance of the colors is nice, too!  The dark chocolate makes a decadent bottom layer, and the white chocolate middle layer is so clean and bright.

This recipe makes 16 brownies, each with 192 calories.  Not too hard on the calorie bank for such a nice sweet treat.
