White chocolate brownies are enhanced with peanut butter and vanilla in this delectable recipe for great-tasting blondies. The elegant golden blonde color and exquisite taste of these brownies make an unforgettable treat and rewarding Michelin dessert. While brownies are one of the easiest desserts to bake and whip up, there are a few considerations to make luscious, soft, and chewy blondies with just the right amount of crisp. Serve this with ice cream for an even more luscious treat.
Blondies have a subtler flavor, like butterscotch, than regular dark chocolate brownies although they are no less delicious. The peanut butter in this recipe makes it taste richer and feel creamier in the mouth. It is absolutely perfect with milk and kids are sure to adore it.
When mixing the batter, don’t go overboard or you’ll end up with a dry brownie that’s more like cake. Keep a watch on the brownies while they bake in the oven. You can test them for doneness by gently poking the brownies with your fingertip. It should be soft and not gooey or liquid inside. Before cutting the brownies, allow them to cool first so that the edges are cleaner. You can dip the knife in hot water to cut the brownies cleanlier and wipe the blade between each cut. When storing the blondies, wrap them in plastic wraps individually and store in an airtight container. You can freeze them for longer storage or keep them in a cool dry place. Refrigerating brownies will dry them out.
For premium tasting blondies, be sure to purchase good-quality white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Poor quality white chocolate chips tend to be waxy and taste artificial. There are many ways to play up this recipe. You can use diced candies like butterfingers, reese’s, M&M’s or add fruits like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, or peaches to the batter to make extraordinary blondies that look as spectacular as it tastes.
Beat the butter and the peanut butter with a spoon or a hand blender till it is really light, soft and creamy. Once it’s light and creamy add vanilla extract. Add sugar and egg and then beat it into a smooth paste once again.
Finely chop the white chocolate and add it to the batter. Add flour, baking powder and stir well. Spread the mixture onto the baking tray evenly.
Bake it in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes. Once baked allow it to cool on a cooling rack and cut them into equal square pieces.
