Peanut butter brownies; this blondies recipe uses peanut butter and chocolate chips. These peanut butter brownies are a family favorite.
I’ve been having this problem recently. All my pans are disappearing.
My trusty 9×9? Gone. My 11×7 that I use when the 9×9 is busy? Gone. My glass pie plate? Gone.
I swear there are bakeware gremlins on the loose in the area.
Not to mention, I lost my favorite bread knife, and the dog ate one of my wooden spoons. True story. He ate it. Ripped it to shreds. We were finding splinters for days.
So, I guess you know what I’ll be hoping to receive as birthday gifts. (*wink wink*)
I’m telling you all this, because you’ve already looked at the pictures, and probably wondered why these brownies are round. And now you know that this is what happens when you make your kids do the dishes. The pans disappear and the dog eats the utensils.
I ended up using a 9-inch round cake pan for these blondies. I didn’t mind, because they still baked up lovely and delicious, with yummy crusty edges, and they came out of the pan quite easily. Plus, they look cool round.
If anyone asks, that’s why they’re round. Because they look cool. Sleek. Stylish. It’s the next thing in blondies.
I’m a trendsetter, y’all.
Of course, you don’t have to bake yours in a round pan, unless you want to be cool like me.
Maybe I should start offering rewards for the return of the missing bakeware.
Do you think I could just pay in Peanut Butter Blondies?

Thanks for linking to my Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies. I am totally LOLing at your ‘baking gremlins’. I swear that stuff happens to me too! Glad you got it all worked out though 🙂
I love that you made this in a round pan! Not sure why I never think to do something like that.
These look delicious! I love chocolate and peanut butter anything…yum!
Haha yes that was my first thought – round blondies? Must be a new food styling trend 😉 You got it all wrong though. This is the base of a peanut butter blondie cake. Peanut butter frosting in the middle, top with another blondie layer, then cover with more frosting. Boom. See? You are onto something.
Oh, Carla, I love the way you think. This is why we’re friends! WHEN you make it, send me a slice! 😉
They look darn chic to me! Adding this to my baking list as my daughter would love them (and so would I!).
I think they look great in the round pan. Look at you starting a new trend 🙂 And your baking gremlins must have hit my house too, because I have a few dishes that have just up and vanished!
I don’t really care what shape something in as long as peanut butter and chocolate are involved!
I love blondies and peanut butter! I cannot wait to try these. I know they won’t last long in my house!
Laughing at the disappearance of your pans. Not a problem for me. If, on those rare occasions my husband does the dishes or empties the dishwasher he will put all the stuff he has no clue of where it goes on the kitchen counter.
Oh, and peanut butter and chocolate? I don’t care what shape it is, I just want it. Yum!
Mmmm…as soon as you say “peanut butter” I’m hooked. You should’ve just picked up the round blondie and eaten it like a cookie because round = cookie.
I will keep you supplied in square pans if you send me a steady supply of peanut butter baked goods. 🙂

I made these tonight and I wouldn’t call them a blondie. Maybe a thin thin cookie bar. Without baking soda & baking powder this fall a little “flat”. The flavor is good, very peanut buttery, which I like.
