Everyone has tried a brownie before, but not everyone has tried a blondie! Blondies are essentially a vanilla version of the chocolate brownie we all know and love. Some might assume that means a blondie isn't as sweet, but it certainly is! It just has a different kind of sweetness to it.
While you can find blondie mixes in the store, we recommend using this recipe to make your own. It doesn't take much more time, and you likely already have all of the ingredients on hand. Being able to make a recipe out of what's already in your pantry is always a great thing.
These blondies can be whipped up for any dessert need. Whether you want to finish the week off on a high note or impress your in-laws with your baking skills, these blondies are the way to go. These could even be a substitute for a birthday cake for the rare child that doesn't enjoy chocolate.
