Blondies
This easy blondie recipe makes bars that are chewy, a little fudgy, and completely addictive. You can add in chocolate chips, M&Ms, walnuts, or whatever mix-ins you like - meaning these blondies are infinitely adaptable, and the perfect switch-up from making brownies. Made with one bowl and no mixer, what's not to love?

**Baking in a glass or ceramic pan will likely take 3-5 more minutes.
