Tips & Variations

Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
For a fudgier blondie, reduce the flour slightly or bake a few minutes less.
Use light or dark brown sugar to adjust the depth of flavor.

Storage

Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

Butter is preferred for its flavor and texture, but margarine can be used as a substitute. Using oil may alter the texture and make the blondies less chewy.

How do I know when the blondies are done?

Blondies are done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The center should not be wet or overly soft to ensure a chewy consistency.

Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups (330g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, mixing until smooth and well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour and salt until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the blondies for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

For added texture, mix in 1 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips with the dry ingredients.
Ensure not to overbake to maintain the chewy texture characteristic of blondies.
Use light or dark brown sugar depending on your preferred depth of flavor.
Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
