The most delicious flourless blondies

Are you a lover of all things brownies? I know I am. Whether they’re made with walnuts or peanut butter or they’re classic and plain, brownies always make a great dessert. (I’ll have a corner piece, please!)

But if the time has come where you want to enjoy a dessert that’s a little bit different, mix things up starting with blondies. Blondies are made without melted chocolate, which is what differentiates them from brownies. They’re the same texture and consistency, but they look and taste different! And don’t worry, they’re just as simple to make.

The best part is that these blondies are made without flour, making them great for many different dietary preferences. In fact, with natural peanut butter and maple syrup, they’re actually a bit healthier than your standard blondie!

Ingredients in this peanut butter blondie recipe

You will only need 6 ingredients to prepare this recipe! It doesn’t get easier than that.

  • Peanut butter: To begin, grab 1.5 cups of natural peanut butter. It should have no ingredients other than peanuts and salt.
  • Maple syrup: To naturally sweeten these blondies, we will use 1/2 cup of maple syrup.
  • Eggs: Next, 2 eggs will help bind the ingredients together.
  • Salt: Add a bit of flavor with 1/4 tsp of salt.
  • Baking soda: Use 1 tsp of baking soda to help the blondies cook properly.
  • Chocolate chips: Finally, finish off the recipe with 3/4 cup of chocolate chips!

Tools needed to make these blondies

To prepeare peanut butter chocolate chip blondies, you will need the following:

  • 8×8 brownie pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

For measuring, you will need 1/4 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup sized measuring cups.

How to make flourless peanut butter blondies

Blondies are made just like brownies. Begin by mixing the ingredients to form the batter, and then pour the batter into the dish and bake!

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 brownie pan.

Then, use a large mixing bowl and whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, salt, and baking soda.

Stir in the chocolate chips and save some to sprinkle on top.

Then, pour the batter into the greased dish. Bake for 26-28 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool before cutting, and enjoy!

Can I use a larger pan?

Any sized baking dish will work for this recipe, but remember that the larger the dish, the thinner the blondies. Be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly as well.

Substitution Tip

A couple of ingredients in these peanut butter blondies can be substituted depending on your preferences.

Peanut butter
If preferred, peanut butter can be replaced with any nut butter (almond, cashew, etc.) or sunflower seed butter.

Maple syrup
If you’d prefer to replace maple syrup, feel free to swap in honey or molasses.

Chocolate chips
Because we’re sprinkling in the chocolate chips as a delicious mix-in, they can be swapped with peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips! All three options will taste great.

If you liked this recipe, you’ll want to try these!

    LOVE this recipe. Recently had to follow a LOW FODMAP diet and these made a wonderful treat. Great for those of us GF/DF- but even for those who can eat DF/GF, you don’t even miss the gluten or dairy. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

    I love all ELW recipes! this recipe is delicious. I did find that the baking time always seems to be 5-8 minutes off with her recipes. I should have taken them out at 21-22 minutes. maybe it’s my oven! they are still really good, just a tad dry.

      Hi Megan, so happy you loved them and that happens! Every oven has a different actual internal temperature. Just best to keep an eye on things baking towards the end and test them to see if they’re done in the middle.

    Hi Erin, my daughter is allergic to peanuts. Could we sub sun butter for the peanut butter? Your paleo pumpkin pie recipe is the best we’ve tried, btw!

    Followed the directions exactly (I used Teddies PB) and these came out amazing! They have a very brownie like texture and everyone couldn’t believe there wasn’t flour! Will definitely make often, another ELW win 😉

    Would these still work if I used a low-carb granulated sweetener instead of maple syrup? Thank you.

      Hi Monika, so sorry but I’m afraid it won’t come out the same – you need the moisture!

    These were delicious! Mine came out a little crumbly which I think means they were a bit overcooked? But will try again and see if that was the issue.
