Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Use a whisk to mix until smooth.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Allow the blondies to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
