# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

11 - 3/4 cup toffee bits
12 - 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth.
04 - Add creamy peanut butter into the sugar mixture and mix until homogenous.
05 - Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before mixing in the vanilla extract.
06 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no streaks of flour remain; avoid overmixing.
07 - Fold in the toffee bits and semisweet chocolate chips, if desired.
08 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top for uniform baking.
09 - Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until the surface is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center yields a few moist crumbs.
10 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment overhang and cutting into squares.

  • Each blondie offers a perfect sweet balance without being cloying
  • My favorite ingredient is the toffee bits they create tiny caramel pockets that crackle with every bite and make even day old blondies taste freshly baked
03 -
  • Always let butter cool a bit after melting so it does not scramble your eggs
  • Use a flexible spatula to avoid wasting precious batter in the bowl
  • Do not overmix once the dry ingredients go in this keeps the blondies soft and chewy
  • If you want extra butterscotch flavor use dark brown sugar instead of light
  • It is always worth tasting your peanut butter before baking to make sure it is not too salty or bitter
