I made these delicious blondies with the kids last week and used some Spring colored M&M’s and sprinkles we had on hand to make them festive. You could obviously make these during any season and just add any sprinkles or M&M’s you have on hand.
Spring Funfetti Blondies
Yield: 12-15 blondies
Author: Elisabeth & Butter
Prep time: 10 M Cook time: 20 M Total time: 30 M
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 12 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup pastel colored M&M’s
- 1/2 cup pastel sprinkles (anything but nonpareils)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper, all the way up the sides.
- Melt butter and let it come to room temperature.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the melted butter, brown sugar and sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla. Gently fold in the flour mixture, then fold in the M&M’s and sprinkles.
- Spread batter into the lined baking dish and smooth the top (it will be thick). Sprinkle more sprinkles and M&M’s on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on top, rotating pan halfway through baking. The middle will still be a little gooey but they will continue to bake even after you take them out of the oven. Do not over-bake or they will be dry! Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.
