Yield 24 Blondies
Easy gluten free blondies packed full of peanut goodness!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) unsalted peanuts (divided in half)*
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (corn flour)
- 2 cups (280g) gluten free plain/all purpose flour blend**
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp (250g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (300g) peanut butter (I use smooth)
- 1 cup (225g) white sugar
- 1 cup (packed) + 1 tbsp (225g) light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F/180C. Line a 13"x9" brownie pan with parchment paper
- Add 1 cup/150g of the peanuts and the cornstarch to your food processor, processor until ground fine. Make sure to keep an eye on it as too long and it will start to turn to peanut butter - should take no more than 30 seconds. Don't worry if it's not super fine.
- Put the peanut flour, gluten free flour blend, baking powder and salt in a bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the peanut butter and beat to combine.
- Add the sugars and beat until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating to fully combine between each addition. Add the vanilla with the last egg.
- Add the flour mix and beat until just combine.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup/150g peanuts and the chocolate chips.
- Spoon into your prepared brownie pan. Sprinkle the 1 tbsp of granulated sugar over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Cool in pan and then cut into squares.
Notes
* If using store bought peanut flour, you need 1 cup peanut flour and 1 cup whole peanuts. Obviously skip the step to make the peanut flour!
** Can switch for regular plain/all purpose flour if dietary needs don't require gluten free. Use the same measurements
This recipe is written to make by hand, but you can also use your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. If using a mixer, turn speed to lowest setting when you add the flour
Will keep for 3-5 days in an air tight container
