    I love a good brownie as much as the next person, but sometimes I want a little change so we make blondies. Blondies are similar to brownies but they contain vanilla instead of cocoa and are made using brown sugar. To make my normal blondie recipe even better, I added some pastel colored M&M's to make an Easter Blondies Recipe. These blondies are AMAZING! Seriously, the gooeyness and addition of the chocolate knock these out of the park.

    Why this easy blondie recipe is great

    • Pastel M&M's are super fun for spring and Easter
    • Adding chocolate to a traditional blondie recipe
    • A great way to use leftover Easter candy
    Easter blondies

    Ingredients

    To make this Easter dessert, you will need flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and pastel colored M&Ms.

    While these ingredients make the most AMAZING blondies, adding ½ cup of white chocolate chips will really take these over the top!

    How to make Easter Blondies

    You will be using a 9x13 pan for this recipe. I love this one from Pyrex. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Pour flour, salt and baking soda into a medium bowl and whisk together.

    Melt butter and pour it into a large bowl. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to bowl with melted butter.

    Mix together until thoroughly combined.

    creamed sugar and butter

    Add 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the melted butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

    brown sugar and butter mixture

    Add dry ingredients to bowl with wet ingredients.

    Gently fold flour mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to over mix.

    blondie batter

    Pour most of the M&M candies into the batter.

    Gently fold in the M&Ms to evenly distribute them.

    Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Press some M&Ms into the top of the batter.

    Bake the Easter blondies in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You want to be sure to take them out when they have browned on top but are still a little gooey in the middle.

    Remove from oven and let cool and cut them into bars. This Easter blondies recipe will make 16 servings.

    Frequently asked questions

    I don't have pastel M&M's. Can I use regular ones?

    Yes, those work just as well, but they will have a little less of a spring feel.

    How do I store blondies?

    You can store these blondies in an airtight container for 3-4 days. If you refrigerate them, they will last a week. You can freeze the blondies for up to 3 months. To thaw, place on the counter for 2-3 hours.

    Does it matter if I use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar?

    No, use whatever you have on hand.

    Eat at Home Meal Plans

    I am a big fan of  Eat At Home Meal Plans. Are you stressed about the cost of eating out or trying to decide what to make for dinner each night? Sign up for the plans, and get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don’t worry, there are so many options, even picky eaters will find something they like.

    When it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are all set.

    I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
