I was never much of a blondie fan until recently. To me, they were like the lame version of brownies. Wouldn’t you much rather have a gooey, chocolatey brownie instead of a boring blondie?! I always did. Until now.

I’ve tried out a few different blondie recipes and have really started to enjoy them! One of my favorites is this funfetti blondie recipe that I created not too long ago. These now have me hooked! They are so buttery, gooey and delicious. Plus, one bowl and super duper easy! How can you resist?

I’m kind of in the fall mood already, but I know that it’s still summer (hello, 95-degree weather… please go away). But, this maple brown sugar peach blondie recipe is the perfect mix of fall and summer flavors!

What are Blondies?

So, what’s so special about blondies anyway? Aren’t they just flour, butter, and brown sugar? Yes but… there’s more! Blondies get overshadowed by their close relative, the brownie, a lot because well, they just don’t stand out the same. But, you’re really missing out if you don’t see the yummy-ness that blondies can be!

As I was making these maple peach blondies, I realized a few things that blondies have going for them:

• They are super easy to make – blondies typically have few ingredients and are made with a process similar to cookie dough… meaning you only need to dirty one bowl. Hallelujah!
• They’re foolproof – with brownies, you have a few more variables when it comes to using cocoa powder. There are so many different types that will yield different results. But blondies? It’s just simple brown sugar, flour and a few other basic ingredients. Easy!
• They always come out chewy and buttery – if you like a chewy, fudgy brownie, then blondies are for you! They rely on brown sugar for their gooey chewiness which makes them extra soft and gooey. So good.
• They are so adaptable – You can add in literally anything you want and blondies will taste amazing! Some of my favorites are leftover Halloween candy, pumpkin, sprinkles, chocolate chips. So many good options!

How to Make Maple Peach Blondies

Like I said above, the ingredients are simple. You’ll need basic blondie ingredients plus a few extra add ins:

• Peach Preserves – I used some homemade freezer jam from last summer, but I really love Bonne Maman preserves. Here is their peach flavor!
• Fresh Peaches – I have a whole explanation on how to choose the best peaches for baking in this peach cobbler post. I do live in the “peach country” of Colorado after all! But in short, you will want to pick some sort of freestone peach because they are juicier and the pit is easier to remove.
• Bourbon or Whiskey – This is what gives these blondies a nice fall touch! I love this Breckenridge Spiced Whiskey because it has the most delicious warm vanilla and brown sugar flavor. So yummy and perfect for these maple brown sugar peach blondies!

I hope you enjoy making these easy blondies! As the weather cools, they will be so delicious to have on an August night.
