Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Additional Oreos for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to incorporate fully, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is homogeneous and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing and to keep the batter tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Oreos: Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the crushed Oreo cookies until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the dish from the oven and allow the blondie bars to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes to set before slicing.
- Optional Topping: For extra Oreo flavor and texture, sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of the bars before serving.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain a tender texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to help the batter blend smoothly.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips per your preference.
- Ensure the baking dish is well greased or lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
