As we near closer and closer to the holidays, and baking is on my mind – I like to pull out this recipe to share with my family.
Blondies are buttery, dense and have a delicious brown sugar/vanilla flavor, similar to butterscotch.
The smell of these baking fills my home, bringing everyone together. Even if it IS to crowd around the oven waiting for these to be done! This blondie recipe is simple to make, using just 7 ingredients and one bowl. I’d call that a winner!
If you love these blondies, you’ll love my easy Homemade Brownies or my Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie! You’ll swoon over these Pecan Pie Bars, too!
How can you tell when they’re cooked?
A toothpick inserted should come out mostly dry. Don’t worry if the middle is a little soft – they’ll firm up as they cool.
Equipment needed:
You’ll need a large bowl, a 9×9 baking pan and a wooden spoon for mixing. No stand mixer or any other special equipment required!
How to make Blondies:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×9 pan with cooking spray or coat with butter.
-
Add eggs and vanilla and stir vigorously until smooth.
-
In a large bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar.
-
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir until well incorporated.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out.
-
Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
-
Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares.
How long will blondies keep?
Blondies keep well in a tightly lidded container for about 3 days at room temperature, and up to a week refrigerated. They may also be frozen!Substitutions
- You may use dark brown sugar or light brown sugar for this recipe.
- I use unsalted butter but salted may also be used – just reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon, or omit entirely.

Delicious!
These were so good. Made them for a family get together. Just make sure you don’t over cook them. I put them back in for 5 more minutes because I thought the center was too moist. Not the case. The very outside edges were very crisp but great dipped in coffee
This is a go-to snack recipe! So easy to make and the results are amazing. Thanks!
I used sprinkles!
Thank you so much! These turned out lovely. I split the recipe in half, dyed them green, and sprinkled a little sugar on top. It turned out to be the perfect treat for St. Patrick’s day :))
I give recipe 5 stars !!! I made them and doubled the recipe and melted caramel and tossed in some white chocolate chips !!!! The best !!! Next time I will drizzle with white chocolate!!!!
Super easy to make and way better than the box I have been buy at Trader Joe’s for $5 that still requires a cup of butter and eggs. My kids helped so I don’t know if a measurement was off but I had a hard time figuring out when they were done because the middle came out clean with a toothpick but looked very underdone. I was afraid to overcook them so I pulled them looking under in the middle and they were just extremely moist and buttery. Went over very well in my home but others may find it difficult to tell when they are done. Absolutely amazing though!
Sooo good. I add butterscotch chips!!
