Oatmeal M&M Blondies
Description
The Oatmeal M&M Blondies recipe begins by creaming butter with both light brown and granulated sugars, then incorporating an egg and vanilla extract for moisture and flavor. Dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, oatmeal, and baking soda are combined separately, then folded into the wet mixture. M&M candies are stirred in by hand, reserving some to scatter on top before baking.
Baked in a greased or parchment-lined 8 x 8 pan at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, the blondies develop a set, slightly chewy texture. The oatmeal contributes a hearty mouthfeel, while the M&M’s offer colorful pockets of melted chocolate and candy crunch. The result is a sweet, festive bar perfect for casual occasions or sharing.
Careful mixing helps maintain the texture contrast, and baking until a toothpick comes out clean indicates proper doneness without overbaking, preserving softness.
