Peanut Butter Oreo Blondies

I feel like blondies are a seriously underrated dessert. Brownies are definitely my jam, but blondies are just SO GOOD. They're thick and chewy, and you can make them with just about any flavor combination you want. For this recipe, we're taking soft and chewy peanut butter blondies and packing them full of Oreo cookies!

INGREDIENTS FOR PEANUT BUTTER OREO BLONDIES

If you're drooling like me just thinking about these blondies, it's definitely time to whip up a batch. Here are all the ingredients you need to make these blondies.

• All-purpose flour

• Baking powder

• Salt

• Unsalted butter

• Peanut butter

• Granulated + light brown sugar

• Egg + egg yolk

• Vanilla extract

• Oreo cookies

MAKING PEANUT BUTTER OREO BLONDIES

This is a super easy one-bowl blondie recipe that comes together in just a few simple steps! Here's what you'll need to do:

PREPARE YOUR PAN & OVEN
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 8x8 baking pan and line it with parchment paper, if desired. Using parchment paper is obviously optional, but I love using it because it makes removing the blondies from the pan so easy.

PREPARE YOUR BLONDIE BATTER
Step 2: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and peanut butter. Microwave in 30 second intervals until the butter is completely melted.

Step 3: Add in the sugars, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is combined really well.

Step 4: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix or fold everything together until all floury bits are gone and the batter has formed. Be sure not to over mix your batter. *The blondie batter will be thick. Lastly, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.

BAKING THE BLONDIES
Step 5: Dump the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread into an even layer. Top with more Oreo chunks (optional). Pop into the preheated oven and bake for 30-34 minutes.

TIPS FOR THE BEST BLONDIES

These blondies are pretty simple to throw together, but here are just a few tips to get you the best blondies possible!

• Don't over bake them! It is definitely better to under bake your blondies than to over bake them. When they're baked for too long, they can brown too much and become a bit dry or hard. When they're done baking, they should still be a little soft in the center, but will firm up once they cool.

• Allow them to cool before cutting. Blondies and brownies can be a little tricky to cut into bars while they're still warm. They can stick to the knife and break apart. Allowing them to cool completely will help you achieve clean, perfect slices.

• Don't skimp on the Oreos. Less is more does not apply for these blondies. Topping the blondies with more chopped Oreo cookies before baking is an optional step, but is something that I highly recommend doing to make sure you get Oreo cookie in every bite!
