These Peanut Butter and Jelly Blondies are the absolute best combination of salty peanut butter and sweet jelly in a dense, chewy, moist blondie. Even better, they're super easy to make and less than 100 calories per bar. I guarantee you're going to be fighting your kiddos off for the last one of these!

Ingredients

2 scoops vanilla or peanut butter cookie protein powder 62g
3/4 cup all-purpose flour 90g
1/4 granular sweetener alternative 48g
2 Tbsp brown sugar alternative 24g
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 112g
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 122g
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp light butter softened (28g)
2 Tbsp peanut butter chips melted (30g)
2 Tbsp drippy peanut butter* 28g
3 Tbsp grape jelly or other jelly of choice (57g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and/or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the protein powder, flour, sweetener, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients until they are mixed well. Then add the yogurt, applesauce, vanilla, butter, and melted peanut butter chips. Using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer), mix to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly out.
Drizzle the peanut butter across the blondies and add the jelly in small dollops across the top. Use a toothpick or a butter knife to make swirls. You can swirl as much or as little as you would like!
Place the blondies in the over and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. It's okay if they are still a little gooey. They will set more in the pan and especially overnight.

Notes

These blondies are best the next day, chilled, after the texture has set and the flavors have come together overnight. Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
