You can use any flavor jam or jelly you like; substitute roasted salted peanuts to play up the salty-sweet angle.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes thirty-two 1½" squares Servings

Ingredients

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2¼ cups (packed) light brown sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup strawberry jam
2 tablespoons chopped honey-roasted peanuts
Flaky sea salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 13x9" baking dish. Whisk flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium bowl to combine.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs, brown sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and ¾ cup butter in a large bowl. Add dry ingredients and fold in just to combine. Scrape batter into prepared baking dish. Spoon dollops of jam over batter and top with peanuts.

    Step 3

    Bake blondies until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and sprinkle blondie with sea salt; let cool. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thirty-two 1½" squares.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Blondies can be made 4 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
