Delicious and so simple to make, try this Best Ever Blondie Recipe next time you are craving something sweet
I have been testing blondie recipes on and off for years, never quite satisfied with the outcome to share it with you all. Well finally that changes today!
A blondie is much like a brownie in texture but with the creamy caramel notes of a blondie instead of cocoa. This is not to be confused with a white chocolate blondie which is made using melted white chocolate.
Many recipes I have tried have not cooked up well, they taste good but often gluggy or undercooked no matter what I try, so tinkering around with the ingredients, sugar levels and finding inspiration from online I am finally happy with this one! It tastes amazing.

I have used salted butter today, if you are using unsalted feel free to increase the level of added salt to a teaspoon.
The method is so lovely and simple, no fancy kitchen appliances needed. First melt the butter and add the two sugars to this, if you use all brown sugar you can expect the final outcome to be a little darker and also not set as well.
Whisk this for at least a minute until it begins to thicken slightly and fully incorporate the melted butter. Then add to this the 2 eggs and an egg yolk. Adding an additional egg yolk helps with the lightness of the final result but without making the blondie too cake like.
I use a simple vanilla essence in my baking. Mix this all together well as for the next steps you are just gently folding. In a separate bowl add together the flour, cornflour, baking powder and salt. Adding cornflour to the flour assists with making the final result lighter and softer.
Fold the flour mixture through into the wet ingredients until almost combined then add the white chocolate drops and fold through. Feel free to add lightly toasted walnuts or macadamias to this step if you like the additional texture and flavour.
Spoon this into a prepared oven tin and bake until lightly golden brown. You want the centre when peirced to show no batter, but a few damp crumbs is ok.
You can usually tell if it is still jiggly on the top that it requires more time before using a skewer or knife to test. All ovens are so different so simply pop it back in for 3-5 minutes each time.
Once cooked through, remove from the oven and allow it to completely cool in the tin. If you slice too soon you will end up with slightly mashed pieces, still tasty but best left until cold.
This blondie freezes beautifully also so feel free to pop the whole slice, or any uneaten slices into the freezer for up to 3 months.
Onto the instructions for what I think is the Best Blondie Recipe
Best Blondie Recipe
Delicious sweet blondie recipe with white chocolate drops
Ingredients
- 225 grams Butter, melted* see notes
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed, 200 grams
- 1/2 Cup White Sugar, 100 grams
- 2 Eggs, medium
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Essence
- 285 grams Plain White Flour (2 Cups Less 15 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Cornflour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt*
- 1 Cup White Chocolate Drops, 170 grams
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 175C conventional Bake
- Prepare a 23-25cm square oven pan with baking paper and set aside.
- In a small microwave proof bowl melt the butter, covered with a paper towel, in 30 second bursts, until just melted
- In a large bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar and whisk well for at least a minute until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture starts to thicken
- Add to this two whole eggs, one egg yolk and the vanilla essence. Whisk this together for a further minute until well incorporated
- In a separate medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, cornflour and salt and mix well to combine
- Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and carefully fold through until almost all combined.
- Add to this the white chocolate drops and fold through just until no flour remains visible.
- Spoon this into the prepared pan and spread with a rubber spatula until smooth and even.
- Pop the pan in the oven for 30 minutes then check to see if the centre is cooked with a skewer or knife. The blondie is cooked once no wet batter is on the skewer, but a few damp crumbs is ok.
- If it is undercooked or jiggly pop it back in for 3 minutes at a time between checking. All ovens vary and the depth of the slice will impact this also.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
- Remove from the pan once cold and place on a cutting board, slice into squares or bars
- Dust with icing sugar if you wish
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, can be frozen.
- Enjoy!
