Peanut Butter Blondie Brownies

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil cooking spray
• 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Beat peanut butter and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat brown sugar into peanut butter mixture. Beat eggs into peanut butter mixture 1 at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla extract.

Gradually sift flour into peanut butter mixture and mix until batter is well-combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly in the dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the blondies comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for 15 minutes before slicing into 24 bars. Remove to a wire rack to cool until just warm.
