- Dry Ingredients: 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients: 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter (melted and cooled), 1 1/2 cups (300 g) light brown sugar (packed), 2 large eggs (room temperature), 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Add-Ins & Topping: 1 cup (160 g) Cadbury Mini Eggs (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup (85 g) white chocolate chips (for drizzle), 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 3: Combine Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Step 5: Fold in Dry Ingredients
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Step 6: Add Cadbury Eggs
- Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Step 7: Transfer to Pan
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved Mini Eggs on top.
- Step 8: Bake
- Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Step 9: Cool Completely
- Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Step 10: Add White Chocolate Drizzle
- For the drizzle, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over cooled blondies.
- Step 11: Slice and Serve
- Lift blondies from the pan using parchment overhang, slice into 16 squares, and serve.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the best results, make sure your melted butter has cooled slightly before mixing with the brown sugar—this prevents the eggs from cooking when added. Don't skip the parchment paper overhang; it makes removing and slicing the blondies so much easier and cleaner. When folding in the Cadbury Mini Eggs, be gentle to avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough blondies. The toothpick test is crucial: you want a few moist crumbs clinging to it, not wet batter, but also not completely clean, as that indicates overbaking. Allow the blondies to cool completely before adding the white chocolate drizzle to prevent it from melting into the bars instead of sitting prettily on top.

Varianten und Anpassungen
These blondies are wonderfully versatile. For extra crunch, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts along with the Cadbury eggs. If you prefer a different chocolate finish, swap the white chocolate drizzle for milk or dark chocolate. You can also use other seasonal candies—try M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, or chopped chocolate bars. For a richer flavor, brown the butter before using it in the recipe; just make sure to let it cool completely first. If you don't have coconut oil for the drizzle, a small amount of vegetable oil or even a tablespoon of heavy cream works beautifully to thin the melted chocolate.
Serviervorschläge
These Cadbury Egg Blondies are perfect served at room temperature, allowing the chewy texture to shine. Pair them with a glass of cold milk for a classic combination, or serve alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee for an afternoon treat.
