What are the steps to

Step 1: Preheat & Prep Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Is it safe to line a baking sheet with parchment paper? I find this makes cleanup a breeze! Make sure the pan is prepped properly to prevent the blondies from sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. How do you distribute baking powder evenly across the flour? How do blondies rise properly Don’t skip this step!

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure the butter isn’t too hot when you add the eggs, or they might cook slightly. You want a nice, smooth mixture.

Step 4: Combine

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough blondies. A few streaks of flour are okay at this stage.

What is the best way to spread the batter in a baking pan? If you reserved some mini eggs, sprinkle them on top now. This adds a nice touch of color and crunch. Sometimes I just pop a few mini eggs into the top for good measure.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist spots. Be careful not to overbake, or the blondies will be dry. Start checking for doneness around the 25-minute mark. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep a close eye on them.

Step 8: Cool & Glaze

Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before frosting. If the glaze is too thick, it will melt. Once cooled, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. I like to use a spoon or piping bag for this step. Drizzle the glaze over the blondies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. I recommend one that already contains xanthan gum. The texture might be slightly different – perhaps a tad bit more crumbly – but the flavor will still be amazing.
Do I need to peel the zucchini?
Nope, no need to peel the zucchini! The skin is thin and tender, and it adds a nice bit of color and nutrients to the blondies. Just make sure to wash the zucchini well before grating it.
Can I make this as muffins instead?
You sure can! Reduce the baking time by about 5-10 minutes, and keep a close eye on them.
How can I adjust the sweetness level?
If you want to reduce the sweetness, you can decrease the amount of brown sugar by about ¼ cup. You could also use a combination of brown sugar and a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
What can I use instead of the glaze?
If you’re not a fan of glaze, you can simply dust the cooled blondies with powdered sugar. Or, you could drizzle them with melted chocolate or caramel sauce. Another option is to top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
