📋How to Make Red White and Blue Blondies Recipe
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour flour, salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl and use a whisk to mix together.
STEP 2: Melt butter and pour it into a large bowl. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl with melted butter. Stir to blend everything together completely.
STEP 3: Add 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the melted butter and sugar mixture. Combine thoroughly.
STEP 4: Add dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Be sure not to over-mix.
STEP 5: Pour most of the M&M candies into the batter, putting aside some to decorate the top of the blondies. Gently fold in the M&M's to evenly distribute them into the batter.
STEP 6: Spread the blondie batter into a 9×13 pan that has been prepared with cooking spray. You can also prepare the pan with parchment paper. Press the remainder of M&M's into the top of the batter.
STEP 7: Bake the blondies in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You can use a toothpick inserted in the center to check for doneness. Take them out when they are golden brown on top but are still a little gooey in the middle.
STEP 8: Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the baking pan before cutting them into bars.
Enjoy these for any patriotic holiday!
