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.

Equipment needed:

You’ll need a large bowl, a 8×8 baking pan 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.

Ingredients

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.

Get prepped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 8×8 pan with cooking spray or coat with butter.

In a large bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract and stir vigorously until smooth.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out.

Bake

Place in the oven to bake for 45 minutes (up to 50 minutes) until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely on a wire rack, then remove to a cutting board and cut into squares.
