Prepare yourself for the BEST blondie brownie recipe EVER. They are soft and chewy, and will be the easiest blondie brownie recipe you’ll ever make! I love blondie brownies because they’re the perfect consistency, right in between a cake and a cookie.

Honestly, that rich, dense texture is the way to my heart. These butterscotch flavored brownies are not only chewy, but every bite also has the perfect brownie-to-chocolate-chip ratio, combined with flavors of caramel and toffee.

Blondie brownies are thick, chewy, blond cookie bars with rich undertones of vanilla, toffee, and caramel. The toffee and caramel notes come through because of the large ratio of brown sugar. The darker the brown sugar you use, the more of that caramel-like flavor will come out.

Blondie brownies should be:

Thick! These are NOT chocolate chip cookie bars.
Have a fudge-like texture
Look like a blond brownie

The easiest blondie brownie recipe ever!

Why is this recipe so easy? Let me count the ways.

No need to wait for butter to soften. Melting butter in the microwave is much faster. Use the same bowl that you mix the batter in.
No need to chill dough. That means these blondies will be ready to eat sooner. YESSSS!
Only one bowl to clean. How can anyone complain about that? Major bonus! ❤️

How to make CHEWY blondie brownies

Use brown sugar
Use melted butter
Add an extra egg yolk
Do not over-bake
Do not over-beat the eggs

step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8 x 8-inch pan with baking spray or line it with parchment. Place the butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl, then melt in the microwave. Transfer from the microwave and add the sugar to the bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth with no lumps, and the brown sugar begins to dissolve.

step 2

Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, beating the batter until it’s well combined. When you beat the eggs into the sugar mixture do not beat it for a long time. If you beat the mixture for very long it will get thick, light and airy. That’s what you want when you bake a cake but it isn’t what you want when you make dense, chewy, blondie brownies. It only takes about a minute to mix the batter.

step 3

Stir in the flour, salt and baking powder and combine just until all the dry ingredients are mixed in. Fold in the chocolate chips (and all the other blondie brownie add-ins you’d like), spread the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 28 to 34 minutes. Don’t over-bake the blondies, as they’ll turn out with a dry, cake-like texture instead of the moist, chewy texture you want. The toothpick-in-the-center test should come out with a few crumbs on it, not completely clean (a sign they’re over-baked).

When they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before you enjoy!

Add-ins are where it’s at, friends. You can bake these blondie brownies without any add-ins (besides the chocolate chips) or you can switch up the flavor each time you make them by adding a combination of yummy ingredients like these:

Chocolate chips
Butterscotch chips
White chocolate chips
Chopped, toasted nuts
Toffee chips
Roughly crumbled graham crackers
Bits of salted pretzels

Experiment with any of these flavor combinations to make these blondie brownies your own! I promise, any flavor combo will be delicious. 🙂

Ingredients

1-½ sticks butter 12 tablespoons, melted
1-¼ cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-¾ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-½ to 2 cups chocolate chips or a mixture of the following add-ins:

Optional add-ins (use up to 2 cups of the following):

Chocolate chips
Butterscotch chips
White chocolate chips
Chopped toasted nuts
Toffee chips
Roughly crumbled graham crackers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8 x 8-inch pan with baking spray.
Add the melted butter and brown sugar to a bowl and beat it on medium speed until there are no lumps and the brown sugar starts to dissolve.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute until well combined. Don’t overmix or the batter will get airy and fluffy and the blondies will have a cake-like texture.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder over the batter and stir it until there are no streaks of flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips and any other add-ins you would like.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake for 28 to 34 minutes.**
When finished baking, allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Be careful not to over-bake the blondies as they can dry out and get a cake-like texture instead of a moist, chewy texture. When you insert a toothpick in the center, it should have a few crumbs stuck to it. If the toothpick comes out completely clean, the blondies might be over-baked.

You can bake these blondie brownies without any add-ins or you can switch up the flavor each time you make them by adding a combination of the suggested add-ins.
