Peanut Butter Fluff Blondies

If you've visited my blog before, you may have come across my Reese’s Fluffernutter Bars. Well this, my friends, is an even better version of my previous recipe! These sweet and chewy blondies are loaded with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and a marshmallow swirl that will leave you totally addicted. Don't say I didn't warn you!


Peanut Butter Fluff Blondies
Yield: 7x11 pan (see "Notes" below)

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition, then add vanilla and combine. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
  4. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients in two parts, mixing after each addition.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
  6. Spread 2/3 of batter in prepared pan.
  7. Spread marshmallow fluff on top of batter layer in pan.
  8. Spread remaining batter over fluff.
  9. Bake 27-30 minutes, or until center is set and doesn't wiggle when pan is moved a bit. Remove pan from oven to wire rack and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes
  • If you like your blondies thinner, use a 9x13 pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • If you like your blondies thicker, use a 9x9 or 10x10 pan (8x8 pans are a bit too small for this recipe) and bake for 35-45 minutes.
  • Bake times can also vary based on pan type, not just pan size, so start at the low end of the range and keep an eye on them.
  • Make sure to spray your pan with nonstick cooking spray even if you're using a nonstick pan. Fluff is super sticky!
