Peanut butter blondies

I have been fighting a losing battle for a long time. That battle is to create a clean brownie recipe that actually tastes good. Once you start trying to make them healthy, you start to lose all the things that make them fudgey, gooey and delicious. And can we agree that the thought of black beans in brownies is kinda crazy?! Someday, I will conquer the clean brownie, but for today, I’ve mastered the clean blondie. Or to be more specific, the clean peanut butter chocolate chip blondie.

These are just so good… I tried (and failed) not to eat them for breakfast. Peanut butter, maple syrup… they’re basically a breakfast food, right? The key is not to overbake them so they’ll stay soft and melty.

  1. These are best warm, so I like to store them in the fridge and warm them up for about 20 seconds before eating.

    I just saw your comment on Janae’s blog about your toenails being blue for the Royals opener. I live just down the road in Topeka. In fact, My daughter lives in Westport and at 5PM I’m on my way to KC to spend the weekend with her.
