I made these earlier last week as a Valentine’s Day treat for Kevin. 
It’s an incredibly easy and simple recipe and they are completely vegan too (if you use almond milk and vegan chocolate chips). With 3/4 cup of peanut butter in the whole recipe, you can be assured these are overloaded with peanut butter flavor.
I sprinkled peanuts and chocolate chips on top before baking and drizzled even more chocolate on top after they came out of the oven. The peanuts give the soft blondie a nice crunch. These are easily one of my favorite recipes!
Cut them into hearts or squares, whichever you desire. If you like peanut butter, I know you’ll love them.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondie Hearts
makes 6 hearts (depending on the size of the heart cookie cutter) or 16 small squares
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup light brown sugar (or dark brown sugar)
- 1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (divided in half. You will melt 1/4 cup and drizzle on top)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, oil, and brown sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and baking powder. The batter will be very thick.
Transfer to baking pan and press it into place. Sprinkle the peanuts and 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top, pressing them gently into the batter.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the edges are just barely browning. The top will look very soft. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing into squares or hearts. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and use a fork to drizzle on top of each square/heart. Enjoy!
*Blondies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to one week at room temperature.

Do these not need an egg like regular blondies ? Mine turned out soft but crumbled.
Hey Meg! Nope, these blondies were made to be vegan, so there is no egg needed. They are a tad more crumbly than regular blondies, yes.
The friend who introduced me to baking recently went vegan, so when I got invited over for dinner, I went crazy trying to figure out how I could keep things vegan but still show off my new baking skills. These were the perfect solution! They were a huge hit. I’ll definitely make them again. Thank you!
Also, on a sort-of-related note, can I use almond milk in your standard Cake Batter Blondie recipe? I have half a carton of it now, and I don’t want it to go to waste!
Hey Margaux! I LOVE this blondie recipe and I’m glad you could use it for some vegan friends. It is accidentally vegan – I wasn’t ever trying to make it so. And yes, you may use almond milk in the cake batter blondie recipe. I do it all the time!
