This is a treat I have made many times. Over the years it’s become one of those go to recipes, because they’re just so incredibly easy to make!

And when I don’t have white chocolate chips in? I enjoy my easy UK blondie recipe instead!

I mean, when something tastes this good and you hardly have to wash anything up after… you’re not doing bad are you?! It’s one of the reasons I love this one bowl Biscoff blondies recipe too!

What is the difference between a brownie and a blondie?

A brownie is chocolate in flavour, usually made with either cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate or both. A blondie is a vanilla flavoured bar which is similar in texture to a brownie, but doesn’t contain any dark or milk chocolate.

Are blondies meant to be gooey in the middle?

YES! Blondies are a non chocolate version of a brownie. Brownies are super gooey in the middle right? Blondies are meant to be too! Just be sure you don’t over bake them or they could turn out quite hard.

Ingredients

The ingredients required for white chocolate blondies are really very simple. Let’s take a look…

  • Butter – I always use unsalted in baking. This gives you full control over the salt content and flavour of your bakes.
  • Sugar – Light soft brown sugar works best in this blondie recipe as it adds to the chewy/fudgy texture.
  • Egg – Free range organic are my go to but whatever you have will work. Just don’t use really small eggs.
  • Vanilla – A good quality vanilla extract like Nielsen Massey (Affiliate Link) is essential in blondies! This will be the main flavour.
  • Salt – Table salt is absolutely fine as you don’t need the texture of salt, only the flavour.
  • Flour – Plain flour (all purpose in the US) is what we need for blondies. No need for any raising agents in this recipe!
  • White Chocolate – You can choose to use either white chocolate chips or buy a bar and chop it into chunks. Both work just great!

Recipe tips

Even the simplest of recipes can go wrong sometimes! Here’s some helpful tips to make sure you nail it first time.

  • Ingredients blend together best when they’re all at the same temperature. So bring any refrigerated items to room temperature before using them.
  • Once the flour is added, do not over mix the batter! Only mix until you can’t see any more streaks of flour in the bowl.
  • Remember that all ovens vary so keep an eye on your blondies towards the end of the baking time. You don’t want them to over bake or they might turn out fudgy.
  • Allow your blondies to cool completely before attempting to remove from the tin and slice or things might get messy.
  • Store your blondies in a metal container at room temperature so they stay at their best for longest.

Decoration (optional)

Place a wire rack over a piece of newspaper and lay out all the white chocolate blondies.

Break the white chocolate into a disposable piping bag or plastic food bag and heat in the microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Give the chocolate a good squish between each blast.

Now snip off the corner and pipe a zigzag pattern over the top of each Blondie and allow to set at room temperature.

If you somehow manage not to immediately store your blondies in your belly, then pop them into an airtight container (preferably metal) and store at room temperature. Consume within 4-5 days.

Delicious. I made these this morning, thanks for the recipe! I will be making more from this site from now on.

A couple of things though. Would these be suitable for freezing and still taste delicious once defrosted? Do you know the quantities that I would need for a 12x9 inch traybake tin? I want to make a bigger batch next time!

Hi Dan. You're very welcome! I'm SO happy you liked my recipe :) For a 12 x 9 inch pan I would use: 200g butter, 350g brown sugar, 2 small eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 220g flour, 260g white choc chips, 90g white choc to drizzle. The only thing I can't work out without trying it myself is the cooking time. I would bake as stated in the original recipe then check every 5 minutes or so after that until done. You'll know what to look for anyway as you've already made them successfully before :D Hope this helps! Emma x
