If you ask me which sweet treat I like more: brownies or blondies, that would seriously make me pause and got me into thinking. I couldn't give you straight answer right away. Because I do love bitter-sweet tasting brownies filled with chocolate flavor, but also I love mildness and lightness of blondies too. Especially when they are made with peanut butter. When you put these two on a scale, it's hard to decide.

Recently we had some guest coming to our house for chat and tea and I wanted to impress them with my Cacao Walnut Brownies. But then my hubs suggested (and he's a lover of peanut-buttery blondies too), to make something different this time. So I decide to make these flourless Peanut Butter Blondies for my guest (and us, of course).  

These beauties may look plain... pail and almost average. BUT they have their charm. Once you taste them you'll get totally hooked. They are loaded with peanut-buttery deliciousness that is deepened with amazing caramel tasting maca. + There are bits of melted dark chocolate chunks inside. And THAT flavor combo is to die for.

Dense, chewy and full of flavor, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies are so delicious and almost impossible to resist.And the best part is - to make this sweet treat you'll only need a few pantry ingredients and it will take you less then 30 minutes to make them from scratch. WIN! And here's what you'll need and how to make these charming bites. 

Flourless Peanut Butter Blondies with Chocolate Chips

Peanut Butter Blondies ingredients

To make these loveliness, you'll only need a few pantry ingredients:

  • PEANUT BUTTER: Peanut butter is really amazing protein-packed spread that is not only super tasty but super healthy too. It’s loaded with proteins and healthy fats, as well with fibers. (1) Peanut butter is low in carbs and suitable for people with type 2 diabetes or those following a low-carb diet. Also, half of the fat in peanut butter is made up of oleic acid, a healthy type of monounsaturated fat that promotes good heart health. I used here all natural peanut butter that has just peanuts. No added oils. No added sugars nor salts. That's the BEST peanut butter to use, not only for making this peanut butter blondies recipe but in general... for everyday use. 
  • COCONUT FLOUR: Mild in taste, its texture is perfect for making blondies. It's perfect replacement for grain flours and benefits goes further. Coconut flour is naturally gluten-free. Coconut flour is rich in many nutrients including fats and fibers, but also medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) a type of fat linked to several benefits, such as weight loss, protection against bacteria and viruses, brain and heart health. (2)
  • DARK CHOCOLATE: I also tossed in some dark chocolate chips. They deepened overall chocolate flavor but also gave that special double chocolate punch. Melting pieces of dark chocolate in a warm blondies is unbelievably good and satisfying. I’ve used dark chocolate made with 75% or more raw cacao that is made without refined sugars. You can find those in healthy food stores.
  • PURE MAPLE SYRUP: To sweeten these Peanut Butter Blondies I used pure maple syrup. Maple syrup is mildly sweet and paired nicely with peanut butter. You can substitute maple syrup with honey here. 

To make these Peanut Butter Blondies extra special, I tossed in some MACA POWDER - a superfood and powerful antioxidant, not to mention mood booster. Maca powder enhanced these blondies with amazing flavor but also gave many health benefits too.

How to make Peanut Butter Blondies

  1. Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 350F.
  2. Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Prepare and measure all ingredients using measuring cups.
  4. In a small bowl, sift 1/3 cup coconut flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon banking soda. Add salt and mix everything with a spoon.
  5. In a large mixing bowl combine 2/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter and 1/3 cup maple syrup. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use the whisk and mix it until you get the sticky texture.
  6. Add in eggs, one by one, and stir vigorously using the whisk. 
  7. When the batter looks thick and well blended, add in the dry ingredients. Using the spatula mix everything until fully combined.
  8. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips and fold everything together. Spread the batter evenly in lined baking pan.
  9. Bake 18-20 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted into the center come out almost clean). Note: Keep an eye on the blondies - don't over-bake it (like I did).
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. 
  11. Once cool, slice the blondies to 9 or 16 slices. 
  12. Store in an air-tight container for up to one week.
  13. Place in a zip-lock bag and freeze up to three months. Thaw on room temperature before using. Use the microwave to heat the blondies once they are defrosted, if desired.
