Description
Easter blondies are rich, sweet, and moist, loaded with festive M&M's which makes them fun to make and eat. Plus, it's a quick and easy one bowl recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Easter M&Ms, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edge for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in a microwavable bowl. Allow the butter to cool slightly for about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooled butter to a large mixing bowl and add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and whisk together until well combined, smooth and glossy.
- Add in flour, baking powder, and salt and mix using with a large spatula until the batter it thick and few streaks of flour remain. Gently fold in ¾ cup of the Easter M&M’s. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and use a spatula press the mixture into the corners and level thet top. Gently press the remaining M&M’s on top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on how chewy you want the center. Bake for 30 minutes for a chewy blondie, bake for 40 minutes for a more cakey texture. If you notice the top browning too quickly towards the end, you can cover the top loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire cooling rack. Once cooled completely, lift it out of the pan and cut into squares or grab a spoon and enjoy it hot out of the pan with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
