Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Topping
- 1 cup M&M's Milk Chocolate Eggs (divided, substitute with your favorite M&M's if unavailable)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the blondies later.
- Melt butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter for about one minute on high power until melted completely.
- Add egg and sugar: Allow the melted butter to cool slightly so the egg doesn’t scramble when added. Then, whisk in the egg, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
- Incorporate M&M's: Gently fold in 3/4 cup of M&M's Milk Chocolate Eggs into the batter, mixing as best you can as they tend to resist blending in fully.
- Transfer to pan: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Add remaining M&M's: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup M&M's evenly over the top of the batter and press down lightly so they stick.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and serve: Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing into 9 servings and enjoying.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender and moist texture.
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before adding the egg to prevent scrambling.
- Use an 8-by-8-inch pan for the perfect thickness; using a larger pan may result in thinner blondies.
- These blondies firm up as they cool, so do not overbake to keep them soft.
- You can substitute the M&M's Milk Chocolate Eggs with your preferred type of M&M's or chocolate candies.
