Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the pan and preheat
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2: Mix dry ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 3: Combine butter and sugar
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Step 4: Add eggs and vanilla
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Step 5: Incorporate dry ingredients
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Step 6: Add Cadbury Mini Eggs
- Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Step 7: Transfer to pan
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved Mini Eggs on top.
- Step 8: Bake
- Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Step 9: Cool completely
- Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Step 10: Make white chocolate drizzle
- For the drizzle, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over cooled blondies.
- Step 11: Slice and serve
- Lift blondies from the pan using parchment overhang, slice into 16 squares, and serve.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the best results, make sure your melted butter has cooled slightly before mixing with the sugar—this prevents the eggs from cooking when added. Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour; fold gently just until no streaks remain to ensure tender, chewy blondies. When chopping the Cadbury Mini Eggs, use a sharp knife and a gentle rocking motion to avoid crushing them completely. The key to perfect blondies is not overbaking—they should look slightly underdone in the center when you remove them from the oven, as they'll continue to set as they cool.
Varianten und Anpassungen
These blondies are wonderfully versatile. For extra texture, stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts along with the Mini Eggs. If you prefer a different chocolate flavor, swap the white chocolate drizzle for milk or dark chocolate. You can also use regular M&Ms or other candy-coated chocolates in place of Cadbury Mini Eggs for a year-round treat. For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light. Those following a gluten-free diet can substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, though the texture may vary slightly.
