Recently, it was my sister-in-law’s birthday, and I asked her what she wanted me to make. I was up for anything!
She asked me to make blondies! Yum. Great choice.
I was pretty sure she was a white chocolate fan, so I decided I needed to up my game and throw some white chocolate in there.
My kids decided on some artistic flair and picked out sprinkles to throw on top. Fabulous!
I used this recipe from The Salty Marshmallow for an easy blondie recipe, plus the additions of white chocolate chips and sprinkles!
The ingredients for the white chocolate chip blondies are: plant butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
First, I preheated the oven to 350°, and I prepped a baking pan by greasing it with olive oil. I used an 8×8 pan instead of a 9×9, which is what the original recipe called for.
Then I measured out the brown sugar using a scale. I tend to prefer weighing, since the weights are a lot more consistent!
After melting the butter in the microwave, I added it to the brown sugar and stirred it all up. Make sure you get all of the brown sugar off the bottom and mixed.
The eggs were next! I added two and thoroughly whisked the mix together.
Now for the dry ingredients. I weighed the flour in the bowl on the scale, and then I added the baking powder and salt.
Mixed it all up, and we were good to go!
Oh wait! Add the white chocolate chips! I didn’t want to add too much, but I hoped it was enough.
Then I poured it all in the pan and smoothed everything out. Ready to go in the oven!
I put it in the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. I did pull it out at around 15 (though I wanted to do it sooner – kids!), and I added some sprinkles. After checking it with a toothpick and it being very wet still, I put it back in.
Since I put it in a slightly smaller pan, I ended up going over a few minutes. Those few extra minutes did the trick, and when I used another toothpick to check, it was gooey but not totally wet. Perfect.
Delicious. So, so yummy. They were a hit with my sister-in-law too!

White Chocolate Chip Blondies
Delicious blonde brownies with a touch of white chocolate decadence and a dab of artistic sprinkle flair!
Ingredients
- 2 c brown sugar, packed
- 1 c unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, large and at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ c all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ~ ½ - ¾ c white chocolate chips
- Handful of sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prep a 9x9 pan with a light coat of oil.
- Using a large bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter.
- Add eggs and mix until smooth.
- Add flour, salt, and baking powder and mix well. Be sure to scrape down sides and bottom.
- Add white chocolate chips. Mix gently.
- Pour into prepared pan and smooth out the top of the batter.
- Put into oven to preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. After about 10 or so minutes, add a thin layer of sprinkles on top.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick poked into center of blondies. If it comes out fairly clean (it will finish baking out of the oven), remove the pan from the oven.
- Let cool before cutting into 16 pieces.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use cooking spray if you are using a glass or metal pan that is not non-stick.
- If using an 8x8 pan, you may have to go a few minutes longer. It also will result in thicker blondies.
- Add as many white chocolate chips as you'd like! Feel free to try other add-ins as well, like semi-sweet chocolate chips or nuts!
- If you need it to be dairy-free, simply make sure the butter and white chocolate chips are non-dairy, and you'll be set!
