I love bars, they are super easy to make and when I’m in a hurry they are one of the recipes that I make most often. These Chocolate Chunk Blondies are one of our favorites.

They are super easy and use pantry staple ingredients and just are all around a tasty recipe that when we make them we can’t seem to put down.

The combination of flavors is basic like the recipe but they work and are oh so tasty together. If you don’t want an over-the-top recipe then this one’s for you.

Some of the best recipes are the super easy ones like this easy blondie recipe. The chocolate chunks vs chocolate chips really disperse that chocolate flavor so much more.

These things are thick, chewy and just plain packed with flavor. Be aware that just one piece will probably fill you up, haha!

Make sure you get the kids involved! They love making these and they’re so easy.

Once you make these chocolate chunk blondies, they will become a regular dessert menu rotation because you and everyone else will love them just as much as we do.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
2. Melt the butter, set it aside to cool slightly as you continue with the next steps.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined with no dry patches. Add the chocolate chunks and stir them in.
6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top will appear shiny and set.
7. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Using the parchment paper to help, lift out the blondies and cut them into bars, and serve.

DO I HAVE TO USE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS?

While we personally love to use chocolate chunks for this recipe because they are larger you can absolutely use chocolate chips.

You can use any chocolate chips that you like, semi-sweet, milk, or dark.

They should work just fine, you will just have a little less chocolate throughout the blondies.

CAN I HALVE THIS RECIPE?

Absolutely yes! If you don’t want a large pan of blondies you can easily cut this back and make it in either an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan.

We realize that not everyone wants a large pan of a dessert so this recipe is super easy to cut in half for sure!

ANY ADDITIONS?

I think it’s an amazing recipe for experimentation! Each chewy bit will make you drool, haha!

• Stir in white chocolate chips along with the chocolate chunks to create delightful chocolate chip blondies with a mix of flavors.
• Sprinkle flakey sea salt on top of the blondies before baking for a sweet and salty combination that’s irresistible in these chewy blondies.
• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the blondie batter for extra crunch in your sweet treat.
• Mix in dried fruits such as cranberries or raisins into the flour mixture for a fruity twist perfect for the holiday season.
• Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled blondies for an elegant finish that’s both delicious and visually appealing.
• Incorporate a teaspoon of cocoa powder into the batter to give a subtle chocolate flavor, turning them into chocolate chunk brownies.
• Top each serving with a scoop of ice cream to make an indulgent dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
• Add an extra egg yolk to the batter for even more moisture and a richer flavor in your blonde brownies.
• Sprinkle the batter with colorful sprinkles before baking to make fun and festive blondies that kids will love.
• Include a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor, creating delicious espresso chocolate chunk blondies.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Let me know in the comments if you want to see any other options here. I love your input!

• All-purpose flour: Replace with whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
• Light brown sugar: Use dark brown sugar to give the blondies a deeper molasses flavor and a chewier texture.
• Unsalted butter: If you only have salted butter, you can use it but reduce the teaspoon salt in the recipe to balance the flavors.
• Chocolate chunks: Swap out for milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or a mix of your favorite chocolates for a different taste.
• Vanilla extract: Substitute with almond extract for a nutty twist or maple syrup for a hint of maple flavor.
• Eggs: Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) for a vegan alternative, noting the texture may vary.

These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature where they will last for up to 5 days. 

They can also be frozen, place cooled bars in a freezer container and they will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To defrost, remove to the countertop or refrigerator overnight until thawed.
