  • Do not overmix the batter; stir until the flour disappears.
  • Check at 20 minutes; ovens vary. A toothpick should come out clean.
  • Cool the pan on a wire rack to stop baking from the pan heat.

  • Use maple extract instead of vanilla for a different taste.

FAQs

Q: Can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar?
A: Brown sugar gives a deeper taste and moisture. You can use white sugar, but the blondies will taste a bit different and may be drier.

Q: Can I make these gluten free?
A: Yes. Replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix and follow the same steps.

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: The top should look set and lightly golden. A toothpick in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
