After this cake last weekend, I wasn't much in the mood for running to the store for the things I didn't have for this recipe- non-natural (unnatural?) peanut butter and peanuts. Dorie says not to use natural peanut butter, but I did and it was really good. These blondies are great- the texture reminded more of a bar cookie than blondies/brownies, though. And my baking time was about half of what the recipe calls for. I loved the addition of cinnamon in these!
Bakeologie had the recipe!
You rebel...using the natural pb! :o) Glad that they turned out tasty. I was surprised by the cinnamon, too. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI used natural PB as well and mine were still super delish! Yours looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice the flavor of the cinnamon in mine.
ReplyDeletewow half the baking time? i was thinking maybe mine were just a few minutes overbaked but maybe it was a lot more!
ReplyDeleteLooking pretty tempting. It's fun to change up a recipe and see what will happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious looking treats. Peanut butter and chocolate always work for me. By the way, I'm holding a CSN giveaway on my blog and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/11/45-csn-giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteYours look really tasty. We loved these. Next time I will put pecans in mine though. I could not taste the cinnamon in mine.
