Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

Soft, chewy, rich, and packed with peanut butter and chocolate in every bite, these Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies are one of those recipes that proves simple really is best.

A Simple Bake That Never Fails

This is one of my older recipes, from back when I was really just finding my feet in the kitchen. I was always drawn to recipes that didn’t require loads of ingredients or complicated steps, and this one ticked every box. It’s basically a blonde brownie (or blondie!) taken up a level with crunchy peanut butter and melty chocolate chips.

Even now, I still come back to this recipe when I want something quick, easy, and guaranteed to turn out well. It’s one of those bakes you can throw together in minutes, but it tastes like you’ve put in far more effort.

Peanut Butter + Chocolate = Always a Win

There’s just something about peanut butter and chocolate that works every single time. The rich, slightly salty peanut butter pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate chips, creating that classic flavour combination that’s hard to beat.

I used crunchy peanut butter in this recipe for a little extra texture, but smooth works just as well if that’s what you have on hand. And just like with most of my recipes, you don’t need anything fancy, use whatever brand you like.

Soft, Chewy and Loaded with Chocolate

These blondies bake up with golden edges and a soft, chewy centre. The top gets slightly crisp, while the inside stays rich and gooey, exactly how a blondie should be.

I always like to save a handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle over the top before baking. Not only does it make them look even more tempting, but you also get those little pools of melted chocolate on top once they come out of the oven.

One You’ll Keep Coming Back To

This is definitely one of those recipes that you’ll find yourself making again and again. It’s quick, it’s reliable, and it always goes down well with everyone who tries it.

Whether you’re baking for a treat, a lunchbox filler, or just because you fancy something sweet, these Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies are always a good idea.
