Ingredients

115 g unsalted butter (4oz)
90 g white chocolate (3oz) chopped into small pieces (I use Green & Black's)
170 g peanut butter (6oz or ½ jar)
170 g light brown sugar (6oz (I use muscovado))
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
140 g wholemeal flour (whole wheat) (5oz)
1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Place the butter in a large pan over a gentle heat and allow to melt. Turn the heat off, but leave the pan in place.
115 g unsalted butter
Add half the white chocolate, followed by the peanut butter and then the sugar. Leave everything to melt in the residual heat for a couple of minutes, then give it a good stir with a wooden spoon.
170 g peanut butter, 170 g light brown sugar
Remove from the heat and beat in the eggs and vanilla extract with the wooden spoon.
2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Sieve in the flour and baking powder, but leave any extra large bits of bran in the sieve and discard. I put mine in the compost bin. Stir until just incorporated.
140 g wholemeal flour (whole wheat), 1 tsp baking powder
Finally mix in the remaining chopped chocolate.
Scrape the mixture into a 23cm (9") sq silicone mould or lined tin and bake at 180℃ (160℃ fan, 350℉, Gas 4) (gas 4) for 17-20 minutes. The blondies are done when the top is golden, firm to the touch, but with a slight wobble in the centre. They firm up on cooling.
Leave to cool in the pan, then cut into 16 squares when completely cold. Alternatively eat as a pudding whilst still warm.

Notes

I make these blondies using ounces, so if you have scales with ounces, use those rather than grams.

Delicious served warm with ice cream, but delightfully squidgy when left to cool properly.
