Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven
- 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 the 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: Fold in Dry Ingredients
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Step 6: Add the 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 the 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 overbake these blondies; they should be slightly underdone in the center for that perfect chewy texture. Allow them to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts. If the white chocolate drizzle is too thick, add a bit more coconut oil to thin it out. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Feel free to customize these blondies to your taste. For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter. Swap the white chocolate drizzle for milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer a richer finish. You can also use regular chocolate chips instead of Cadbury Mini Eggs for a year-round version. For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the batter for a deeper flavor profile.
Serviervorschläge
These Cadbury Egg Blondies are delicious on their own, but they're even better when paired with complementary flavors and textures.
