A blonde brownie, also known as a blondie, is a dessert bar that’s similar to a traditional brownie but without the cocoa or chocolate base. Instead of having a chocolate flavor, blondies have a rich, buttery, and caramel-like taste, thanks to the brown sugar and butter used as key ingredients.

Key Features of a Blonde Brownie:

  1. Main Ingredients: Flour, butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sometimes baking powder or baking soda for leavening.
  2. Texture: Dense and chewy, much like a classic brownie.
  3. Add-ins: Common mix-ins include white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, nuts (like pecans or walnuts), shredded coconut, or even dried fruits.
  4. Color: Blondies are golden or light brown in color due to the absence of cocoa or melted chocolate.

They’re a versatile dessert and often enjoyed plain or with toppings like ice cream, caramel sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
