Ingredients
  

  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt fine
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached
  • 1/2 cup M&M Easter Eggs milk chocolate

Equipment

  • 8 x 8 shiny metal pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 metal baking pan then line with parchment paper.
  2. Add melted butter to a large bowl then whisk in brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Whisk in egg until combined then add vanilla.
  4. Add salt, baking powder and flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined and flour streaks are still visible. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour batter into prepared baking tin then smooth with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center yields a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
  7. Remove pan from oven and immediately top with M&M Easter Eggs. Gently press candy eggs into the top of the blondies.
  8. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely, then use parchment to lift out. Cut blondies into squares and serve.
  9. Blondies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 3 days.
