Detailed Directions and Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 170 grams of unsalted butter. Once melted, let it cool slightly, just enough that it’s warm but not hot.
3. Combine Sugars and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 200 grams of brown sugar, and 100 grams of granulated sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
Crack 2 large eggs into the sugar mixture. Add 10 ml of vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is smooth and all the ingredients are combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 240 grams of all-purpose flour, 5 grams of baking powder, and 3 grams of salt. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and salt throughout the blondies.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to over-mix as this can toughen the texture.
7. Add Rainbow Sprinkles
Gently fold in 100 grams of rainbow sprinkles into the batter. Make sure they are evenly distributed for a colorful appearance throughout the blondies.
8. Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, ensuring the batter fills the corners of the pan.
9. Bake the Blondies
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown, and the center should be set, with a toothpick inserted into the middle coming out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool the Blondies
Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This cooling process helps them set properly.
11. Frost the Blondies
Once they are completely cooled, spread 300 grams of buttercream frosting evenly over the top of the blondies. The frosting should be smooth and luscious, inviting you to take a bite.
12. Decorate with Sprinkles
Sprinkle an additional 50 grams of rainbow sprinkles over the frosting for an extra pop of color and fun.
13. Cut and Serve
Cut the blondies into squares. Serve them on a platter, and watch them disappear as everyone enjoys the delightful colors and flavors.
