Dense, buttery and vanilla-y, these blondies will satisfy your sweet tooth!
This recipe is an old favorite of mine to share with my family and anyone who happens to stop by my house. Blondies are buttery, dense, have a chewy texture and a delicious brown sugar/vanilla flavor, similar to butterscotch.
If you love these blondies, you’ll love my easy Homemade Brownies or my Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie!
The smell of these baking fills my home, bringing everyone together. Make a double or triple batch for bake sales or other similar events – this blondie recipe is simple to make, using just 7 ingredients. I’d call that a winner!
Kylee’s Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak bites. For medium rare, aim for 135-145°F.
- Pat the steak dry if it needs it. Dry steak will sear better!
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
- To reheat the steak bites, use a microwave or air fryer for best results.

What is the difference between a Brownie and a Blondie?
They’re very similar in that they both contain flour, eggs, butter or oil, and sugar. However, Blondies are vanilla-based and use brown sugar, whereas Brownies are chocolate-based and use white. They’re both delicious!
I have included step by step photos and instructions, as well as tips and tricks in the post. If you’d rather skip all that, scoot right on down to the recipe card located at the bottom of the post.
Recommended Equipment/Tools
You’ll need a large bowl, a 8×8 or 9×13 baking pan (depending on how thick you like your blondies, and a wooden spoon for mixing. No stand mixer or any other special equipment required!
Key Recipe Ingredients
Remember: this is just an overview and the why of the ingredients I choose here. The full list of ingredients and amounts is found in the printable recipe card below.
- Butter. I use unsalted butter in this recipe, but use salted interchangeable with no issues. If you’re worried, just reduce the salt you add, or leave it out altogether.
- Brown Sugar. Dark brown sugar or light brown sugar works just fine in this recipe.
- Eggs. I use large ones!
- Vanilla
- Flour. Regular, all-purpose flour.
- Baking Powder

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out.
