Chewy Peanut Butter & Jelly Protein Blondies

These blondies feature a rich peanut butter base swirled with your favorite jelly, creating a delightful balance of flavors. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 blondies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1/2 cup fruit jelly or jam of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and protein powder.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
5. Add Jelly: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of jelly over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Swirl the jelly gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
