Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Easter M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined and smooth. The mixture should look glossy and slightly lighter in color.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the blondies tough.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of Easter M&M's for topping. Fold the remaining M&M's into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved M&M's on top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will take approximately 1-2 hours.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan. Cut into 12 even squares.
- Serve and enjoy your festive Easter M&M Blondies! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration and better texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep blondies tender.
- Reserve some M&M's for topping to create a more visually appealing dessert.
- Check doneness with the toothpick test - a few moist crumbs are perfect, indicating a soft, chewy blondie.
- Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For extra richness, consider using high-quality vanilla extract.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
