Blondies with Chocolate Chips

chewieblondieschocolatechips These chewy blondies are soft and buttery and loaded with chocolate chips. Made in just one bowl this blondie recipe is the ultimate easy treat.

½ cup butter, melted
1 cup Sukrin Gold, packed
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. sea salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, unbleached
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). Line a 8x8″ baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix well.

In a separate bowl stir together the baking powder, salt, and flour. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just mixed and no clumps of flour remain. Fold in the chocolate chips. Do not over mix.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading into an even layer.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the blondies are golden brown, set on the edges and have puffed up. The middle will still be undercooked, but they will continue to cook as they cool.

Once the blondies are cool, cut into 9 squares for big blondies, or 16 squares for smaller portions and enjoy.

Cook's Notes:

Don’t overmix the batter. This will lead to a tough blondie.
Don’t over bake the blondies. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on them and take them out when they’re still gooey in the middle.
Blondies are the perfect blank canvas for all the yummy add ins and toppings! Feel free to get creative, but we have a few suggestions if you’re looking for some inspiration:
Cinnamon Roll Blondies: Swirl them with cinnamon sugar and top with a cream cheese glaze for a fun and easy take on cinnamon rolls.
Candy bar Blondies: Fold in leftover candy bars when you’re trying to use up some leftover candy (perfect for Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Halloween). Simply chop up candy bars (or whatever you have on hand) and sub it out for the chocolate chips.
Butterscotch Blondies: Swap out the chocolate chips for butterscotch or white chocolate chips for a sweet treat for all you vanilla lovers out there.
Peanut Butter Nutella Blondies: Swirl them with peanut butter and Nutella for a hypnotizing chocolate peanut butter explosion.
Blondie Ice Cream Sundae: Serve these blondies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce for the ultimate decadent treat.
Brown Butter Blondies: Turn these bad boys into brown butter blondies! Simply brown the butter in the recipe and use in place of the melted butter.
Maybe mix it up this week and make blondies instead of brownies. Or if you’re feeling extra spicy make both.
