The Best Blondies Recipe
Description
The blondies begin with melted unsalted butter combined with light brown sugar and granulated sugar, then whisked with eggs and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt are folded in to create the batter. White chocolate chips and roughly minced pecans are incorporated for sweetness and crunch.
Baked at 325°F in a 9x13 inch pan, the blondies develop firm edges with a tender, fudgy center. Cooling completely before slicing allows the bars to set properly, preventing crumbling. The bars can be served with accompaniments like caramel sauce, ice cream, fresh berries, or whipped cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
They can be made up to three days ahead for convenience, stored in the refrigerator for about a week, or frozen for up to three months. Rewarming gently in the oven maintains texture and flavor. Adjusting white chocolate chip quantity or topping with extra chips before baking can further customize sweetness.
Ingredients
- 3 unsalted butter sticks melted
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 egg medium
- 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups pastry flour Bob’s Red Mill brand

Instructions

- Pour in the white chocolate and pecans and fold into the batter using a rubber spatula until completely mixed in.
- Transfer the mixture to a prepared 9x13 baking pan and bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the edges are firm and the center is soft.

Notes
- These blondies can be made up to three days ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
- They freeze well for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat by baking covered in a dish at 350°F for 6–8 minutes until warmed through.
- Allow blondies to cool to room temperature fully before slicing to maintain fudgy texture.
- Adding extra white chocolate chips on top before baking increases the chocolate flavor.
