Peanut Butter Coconut Blondies
These are a very rich and sweet blondie packed full of everything I find delicious. This came from a recipe I found that was similar but used butterscotch chips and was baked in a pie plate. I made it a little different and, like I said, added all the things I love! Let me know if you make them and how they come out since no one has yet tried my recipes.
1/2 Cup (1 stick) Room Temperature Butter
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
4 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Large Egg
1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter Chips
1/3 Cup Slivered or Chopped Almonds
1/2 Cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom and sides of a 8x8 baking pan.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
With an electric mixer (stand mixer with paddle attachment or hand mixer) beat the butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat until combined. Add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Slowly add the flour mixture until dough forms. With a wooden spoon stir in peanut butter chips, almonds and coconut. Scrape dough into baking pan and smooth top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean but still with a few crumbs sticking to it. Cool completely on wire rack and cut into squares.
