Celebrate National Blonde Brownie Day with This Easy, Budget-Friendly Recipe! 🍪🎉
If you’re a fan of brownies but also love a good cookie, then January 22nd—National Blonde Brownie Day—is your perfect excuse to bake up something delicious! Unlike their rich, chocolatey cousin, blonde brownies (or blondies) are all about buttery, brown sugar goodness, making them soft, chewy, and totally irresistible.
Blondies are one of those super easy, no-fuss desserts that require simple, affordable ingredients and come together in minutes—no fancy mixers or expensive baking supplies needed! Plus, you can customize them with whatever add-ins you love, from chocolate chips to nuts to a drizzle of caramel.
So, let’s celebrate National Blonde Brownie Day the best way possible—with a delicious, budget-friendly blondie recipe that’s perfect for any occasion!
Why We Love Blondies
💛 They’re quick & easy – Just mix, pour, and bake—no special equipment needed.
🍪 They use pantry staples – No fancy ingredients, just good old butter, sugar, and flour.
💰 They’re budget-friendly – Way cheaper than store-bought treats, and they taste even better!
😍 They’re endlessly customizable – Add nuts, white chocolate, peanut butter swirls, or whatever you love.
Now, let’s get to baking!
Easy & Affordable Blondie Recipe
This simple one-bowl blondie recipe is soft, chewy, and packed with caramel-like flavor thanks to brown sugar. It’s also super budget-friendly, costing just a few dollars to make!
Ingredients (Makes 9-12 blondies):
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted – about $1
1 cup brown sugar – about $0.50
1 egg – about $0.25
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – about $0.50
1 cup all-purpose flour – about $0.50
1/2 teaspoon baking powder – about $0.10
1/4 teaspoon salt – practically free!
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or nuts, optional) – about $1
Total Estimated Cost: Around $3.85 (for a whole pan of blondies!)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the brown sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
Stir in the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt – until just combined. (Don’t overmix, or your blondies might be too dense!)
Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or any add-ins you like.
Spread the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool, slice & enjoy!
Fun Ways to Customize Your Blondies
Want to switch things up? Try these tasty variations:
🍫 Chocolate Lover’s Blondies – Use white chocolate chips instead of dark.
🥜 Peanut Butter Swirl – Swirl in a few spoonfuls of peanut butter before baking.
🍯 Salted Caramel Blondies – Drizzle with caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt after baking.
☕ Cinnamon Sugar Blondies – Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into the batter for a warm, cozy flavor.
