Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar, packed

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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and melted butter, stirring until smooth. Then add in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing well until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until blended.

          Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, using a spatula or wooden spoon to fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and chopped peanuts if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Spread in Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

                Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting them into squares.

                    Serve: Enjoy the blondies warm or at room temperature, and feel free to store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
