Decadent Peanut Butter Swirl Blondies

Ingredients

- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup no-stir peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly coat an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and no-stir peanut butter. Stir until smooth and well blended.

4. Add Eggs and Sour Cream: Add the eggs, sour cream, water, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Whisk everything together until the mixture is homogeneous.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the kosher salt, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Create the Swirl Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of whole milk or water until smooth and pourable.

7. Assemble the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Drizzle the powdered sugar mixture over the top, then use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the topping into the batter to create decorative patterns.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

9. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
