How to Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and egg until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center looks set. Be careful not to overbake, as the blondies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
