These Funfetti Blondies fill the craving for something sweet, chewy, and fun. Whenever I want a quick dessert that doesn’t require a mixer or tons of fancy ingredients, I whip these up. They beat up in one bowl, taste like a birthday party in every bite, and are soft, buttery, and full of rainbow sprinkles. Kids love them, and I quite like them too.

What Are Funfetti Blondies?

Funfetti Blondies are chewy cookie bars made with a vanilla base and loaded with colorful sprinkles. They are sort of the blond cousin of brownies—without the chocolate, of course. Having that classic soft yet dense texture with delightful birthday cake flavor, they are great for parties, lunch boxes, or just those pampering moments.

Ingredients

How to Make Funfetti Blondies

1. 350F (175C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Blend together the unifications of melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla for a smooth finish.
3. Add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix in. Do not overmix.
4. Sprinkle in and fold in the caramel chips. Do not mix thoroughly lest they bleed.
5. Put the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out with some moist crumbs.
7. Do not cut into squares until it cools completely.

Storage Tips

• Store at room temperature within an airtight container for almost 4 days.
• Store in the freezer for a longer period by slicing, placing them in ziplock bags, and refrigerating for up to 2 months.

Serving Suggestions

• You serve it warm, bien sur, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Sprinkle with whipped cream and top off with even more sprinkles, and you’re ready to party.
• Pack these for lunch, and take them to a potluck because you can travel with them quite well.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Replace rainbow sprinkles with chocolate chips or nuts for a different flavor.
• You can use almond flour, or even go gluten-free if it is a requirement, but it will change the baking time a bit.
• Add just a hint of almond extract to taste to provide a little bakery flavor.
