Valentine’s Day Sprinkle Blondies

These festive Valentine’s Day Sprinkle blondies are a super chewy soft baked bar, full of festive sprinkles. This easy to make recipe is all done by hand and only uses one bowl.

What are Blondies?

Blondies have a similar baking style and fudgy texture as brownies. Both are bars, but blondies focus on vanilla flavour where as brownies are chocolate flavoured. Both don’t use levelling agents (baking powder/soda) to create a dense chewy bar.

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl whisk melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, this usually takes 2-3 minutes.

Add in egg and egg yolk and mix together for a good 3 minutes, batter will become thick. Mix in the vanilla and food colouring. The amount of food colouring will vary depending on the type/brand you are using. Add enough to get your desired colour.

Add in flour and salt and mix until combined.

Fold in the sprinkles.

Pour the batter into your lined baking pan. Smooth and spread the mixture till it is evenly covers the entire pan. Top with extra sprinkles.

Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and middle the middle only has a slight jiggle to it when shaken.

Let the bars fully cool in the pan before slicing.

WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.

DO I NEED TO BRING MY EGGS TO ROOM TEMPERATURE?

Yes you do. Room temperature ingredients break down easier in the batter. This will give you a fudgier blondie and gives you a shiny top.

If you forget to take your eggs out of the fridge, no worries! Just run them under warm tap water for a few minutes and this will bring them to room temperature.

STORING THE Blondies

Store blondies at room temperature in an airtight container. They keep for 4 days after baking.
