“Gemma’s Best Ever Blondies”

My best-ever blondie recipe goes for the gold with indulgent butterscotch and chewy, brownie-like texture.

Hi Bold Bakers!

I have a secret… Although I don’t often admit it, I actually prefer butterscotch to chocolate. I know all of you chocolate-loving Bold Bakers are thinking no way, lady – wellmy Best Ever Blondie Recipe might just convert you.

Decadent, chewy butterscotch makes this hands-down the best blondie recipe.

What Is A Blondie And How Is It Different From A Brownie?

If you’ve never tasted one before you might be asking what is a blondie and how is it different than a brownie. Well, it’s really simple and it’s pretty genius. A blondie dessert is a fudgy baked bar with the same textural elements as a brownie. Brownies are balanced with a magic ratio of oil, sugar, flour, chocolate, and eggs.

A bit of flour, rich eggs, and sweet sugar provide brownies with moisture and allow them to cook without being “set” entirely. These elements form that unmistakable fudge center and can be found in my blondie recipe as well.

While a brownie uses dark chocolate to flavor the batter, blondies get their blonde color and butterscotch flavor from caramel-like brown sugar, aromatic vanilla extract, and rich white chocolate. The result is a unique caramel flavor and brownie texture, hence “blonde brownies” or blondies.

What makes this one of my best desserts is not just the taste but the simplicity of its process. This blonde brownie recipe is a foolproof, one-bowl recipe that can be made in under 15 minutes.

Because this blondie recipe is made with such simple baking ingredients, it’s the kind of treat that can be made at the drop of a hat. I love to make these blondies for all kinds of occasions but I am known to make them for no reason at all.
