3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies
If you’re looking for an easy dessert that requires minimal ingredients but still delivers plenty of flavor, these 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies are a perfect choice. They are soft, chewy, rich, and packed with peanut butter flavor without requiring a long ingredient list or complicated preparation.
The recipe relies on three simple ingredients to create blondies with slightly crisp edges and a soft, tender center. They’re ideal for a quick afternoon treat, an easy dessert for guests, or whenever you want something sweet without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
Why You’ll Love These Peanut Butter Blondies
These blondies are especially appealing because they are incredibly simple to prepare. There’s no need for a mixer, complicated techniques, or a long list of pantry ingredients. Everything comes together in one bowl, making cleanup just as easy as preparation.
The peanut butter provides the rich, nutty flavor and contributes to the blondies’ soft texture. Once baked, the edges develop a lightly golden finish while the center stays pleasantly chewy.
Ingredients
For this simple recipe, you’ll need:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
For the best texture, use regular creamy peanut butter rather than a very runny natural variety. If using natural peanut butter, stir it thoroughly before measuring so the oil and peanut solids are evenly combined.
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Baking Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little parchment hanging over two sides. This makes it much easier to lift the blondies from the pan after baking.
Lightly grease the parchment if desired.
2. Combine the Ingredients
Add the peanut butter, egg, and granulated sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
Using a wooden spoon, spatula, or whisk, stir everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined. The batter will be thick, so don’t be concerned if it takes a little effort to mix.
Make sure there are no visible streaks of egg or pockets of sugar remaining.
