Notes
- Be sure to measure the ingredients carefully to ensure the best results.
- Do not overmix the batter as this can result in tough and dense blondies.
- If the top of the blondies are browning too quickly, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving to prevent them from falling apart.
- For an even richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter to the batter.
- These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep them longer, store them in the freezer for up to three months.
