If you like your house to smell ahhhh-mazing, you need to make these healthy peanut butter chocolate chip blondies ASAP. I’m not sure there is anything better than combining chocolate and peanut butter, except maybe the smell that’ll come out of your oven while these creamy, melt-in-your-mouth, blondies are baking.
They’re made in 1 bowl in about 10 min.
You could say the one thing better than the smell of these scrumptious blondies is how quick and easy they are to make! They only take 9 ingredients (and two of those are water and salt so do they really count….??) and one bowl to whip together. They’re perfect baking for a busy weekday!

They make the perfect pre-workout snack
There’s a lot of focus on what to eat after a workout, but what you eat before a workout is important, too! As tasty as it might be, unless you’re prepping for a marathon there’s no need to carbo-load ;). But, carbs are still important! If you want energy to make it through your workout, carbs are gonna do it for ya!
And whole grain carbs (like the oats in these peanut butter chocolate chip blondies) are the way to go because they are digested slowly and give you sustained energy to power you through your workout, like this HIIT workout from Fitness Magazine that I’ve been doing lately! It’s great to do anywhere since it doesn’t use any equipment!
Pairing your carbs with some protein pre-workout can also help:
- Build up your muscles
- Help your muscles recover faster (aka less soreness!)
- Increase strength and lean muscle
And thanks to the peanut butter and powdered peanuts in these peanut butter chocolate chip blondies I’ve got you covered with that, too!
Not that these blondies need to be saved for pre-workout purposes only! You’re going to have a hard time putting them down, so feel free to eat them as a late night snack, a quick grab and go breakfast, or just because you feel like it! 😉
