What is a Blondie?
You may also be wondering what sets it apart from brownies! While brownies and blondies look very similar, the biggest difference is in the taste.
- A brownie’s base is made with cocoa giving them more of a chocolate brownie flavor.
- A blondie’s base is made with brown sugar which gives them more of a rich caramel or butterscotch taste.
Butterscotch blondies add a butterscotch topping and a sprinkle of sea salt to already warm and decadent blondie. It really seals the deal when you are looking for the ultimate sweet dessert treat!
How to Make Blondies
This blondie recipe is quick and easy to whip up. The hardest part is waiting for them to be done!
- In a large bowl mix together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add in egg and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
- Add in flour and baking soda and mix to combine. Fold in butterscotch chips and chopped pecans until incorporated.
- Place batter into a prepared baking dish and bake for 33 minutes.
Allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove by lifting up on parchment paper and allow to cool another 10 minutes. Drizzle the top with butterscotch topping and sea salt flakes. Cut into squares and serve. So yummy!
How To Store
Once they are cut into squares and have cooled completely you can store them in an airtight container. Line the container with parchment paper so they don’t stick. Blondies can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week, or at room temperature for about 3 days.
This blondie recipe is so versatile! If you don’t want to add the pecans or you would prefer to add in something else you can. They are easy to make and will taste amazing with the addition of chocolate chips, cashews, toffee pieces or whatever your heart desires.
Can I Freeze Blondies?
Yes! Blondies can be placed in the freezer for to 2-3 months. Allow the blondies to cool completely before placing them into an airtight container.
Blondies are one of my favorite desserts and this is the best blondies recipe! It is so effortless and delicious you will fall in love with them as soon as they begin to bake in the oven.
All you need is one bowl and one pan and that’s it! Clean up is simple and will be worth every chewy, gooey bite!
