FAQs

How do I get the crackly top on my blondies?

Ensure your eggs and sugar are well combined by whisking them vigorously, and add the warmed butter to this mixture to help create a meringue-like top.

Can I use a different type of sugar?

You can substitute white sugar for brown sugar, but the flavor will be slightly different. Brown sugar adds a toffee-like taste, which is characteristic of blondies.

What type of pan should I use for blondies?

A metal pan is best, as it heats up quickly and helps avoid undercooked centers or overbaked edges.

Can I freeze the funfetti blondies?

Yes! Once cooled, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.

How do I prevent my blondies from being too dense?

Avoid overmixing the batter. Mix until just combined to keep the blondies light and chewy.

How do I know when my blondies are done baking?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the blondies; when it comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter), they’re ready.

Can I add more sprinkles?

Absolutely! Feel free to add as many sprinkles as you like, but be cautious not to overmix the batter.

Can I use a different kind of sprinkle?

Yes, you can use any type of sprinkles you prefer, such as chocolate or rainbow confetti.

Can I add nuts to this recipe?

Yes, chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans make a great addition if you like a crunchy texture in your blondies.

Can I make this recipe in advance?

Yes, you can bake the blondies a day or two in advance. Store them in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Conclusion

Funfetti blondies are the perfect treat for any occasion, offering a chewy texture, delicious vanilla flavor, and a colorful twist. Whether you’re baking for a party or just craving something sweet, these blondies will not disappoint!
