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!

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!
Kylee’s Notes
- It is ok if the middle is a bit soft as it will firm up as it cools.
- You may wish to add semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips to your blondies. I like them plain, but you do you!
- Chopped nuts are a great addition, try macadamia, walnut or pecan for an epic twist!
- Lining the baking pan with parchment paper will help you remove the blondies from the pan cleanly.
Recipe Ingredients and Possible Substitutes
The full list of ingredients and quantities 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
- Salt. See above.

I appreciate how simple this Blondie brownie recipe is because it makes it that much easier to which up a batch on a whim because I often already have the ingredients on hand. These are a favorite of the fella’s but we don’t have them often enough so I guess I know what I’ll be doing now that I’ve found this recipe!
