Notes
- Blondies are best when mixed by hand! Use a whisk to combine the wet ingredients and a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to incorporate the dry ingredients.
- Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder for a gingerbread latte flavor!
- Blondies taste best when completely cooled. This allows the flavor to mingle and the texture becomes chewy!
- Want to make this in a 13x9 pan? Bake for 25-28 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Freeze blondies in airtight freezer container for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter overnight.
