Peanut butter blondies

I was going to make brownies today, but I wasn't in the mood for that much chocolate (weird, right?) and plus, all we had by way of chocolate was a half bag of chocolate chips. Blondies were what I made instead. I undercooked them a little bit, which was ok, because they taste just like undercooked chocolate chip cookies (with peanut butter), which is a good thing. I love undercooked chocolate chip cookies. Have I said undercooked chocolate chip cookies enough?

Anyway, go make these, they're easy, quick, and delicious.

Peanut butter blondies

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen, who adapted them from Mark Bittman

7 T butter, melted

1 c brown sugar (I use dark)

1 egg

1 t vanilla

1/2 c peanut butter

pinch of salt

1 c gf flour mix

1/4 t xanthan gum

3/4 c chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 and butter and 8x8 pan. Mix the butter and sugar, then add in the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. You might want to heat up the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it so it mixes in better. Stir in salt, flour and xanthan gum, then add chocolate chips. Spread batter into pan, smooth the top, and bake 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
