Tips for making Blondies

  • Always use parchment paper to line the pan or a specific pan liner this will prevent the blondies from burning
  • You can make these in advance by storing them in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or freeze them and defrost – frozen blondies will last up to 3 months. Just reheat when defrosted.
