Pioneer Woman Confetti Blondies

This chewy buttery Pioneer Woman Confetti Blondies is made with brown sugar, vanilla extract, and rainbow sprinkles and ready in 45 minutes. Slicing through the golden top reveals a dense center speckled with brightly colored sugar. I love making these for weekend gatherings because they disappear faster than cookies.

Why This Classic Works

Most blondies can turn out dry or cakey if overbaked. I learned that relying heavily on brown sugar keeps the crumb incredibly moist and rich.

I used to add the sprinkles while the batter was still warm, which caused the colors to bleed completely. Waiting for the butter to cool slightly prevents streaks and keeps the fun confetti look intact.

Pioneer Woman Confetti Blondies Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1.5 cups packed light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.75 cup rainbow sprinkles
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips

How To Make Pioneer Woman Confetti Blondies

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Fold Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring just until no dry flour streaks remain.
5. Add the Confetti: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips without overmixing the batter.
6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are golden.

Recipe Tips

• Use jimmies: Nonpareils will bleed their color into the batter, so stick to the longer cylindrical sprinkles.
• Do not overbake: The center should still look slightly soft when you pull them out, as they continue setting while cooling.
• Cool completely: Slicing them while warm will result in crumbly edges instead of clean, sharp squares.

What To Serve With Confetti Blondies

These dense bars pair exceptionally well with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of black coffee. For a birthday treat, serve a warm square topped with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

How To Store

Keep leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the sliced bars wrapped in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months.

FAQs

• Can I use a different size pan? You can use an 8×8-inch pan for thicker blondies, but you will need to increase the baking time by about 10 minutes.
• Why did my blondies sink in the middle? Sinking usually means the blondies were underbaked or the batter was beaten too aggressively after adding the eggs.
• Can I brown the butter first? Yes, browning the butter adds a wonderful nutty flavor that complements the vanilla and brown sugar beautifully.
