    Funfetti Blondies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Funfetti Blondies are chewy on the edges, gooey in the center, packed full of funfetti sprinkles that add a slight crunch, and have the tastiest vanilla flavor in each bite. They are such a fun and festive dessert.

    With a recipe this easy and delicious you don't need a blondie mix or Pillsbury Funfetti! These Funfetti Blondies are quick, simple, and irresistible. These blondie bars calls for relatively few ingredients, most of which I would bet you already have in your pantry. You can be eating them in less than 45 minutes from the moment you get started. If you're a blondie lover like me you need to try my Brown Butter Blondies too!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Adding sprinkles to blondies is a simple and fun twist on a classic dessert. My Funfetti Cookie Sandwiches are another delicious sprinkle dessert!
    • The Funfetti Blondies can be ready less than 45 minutes after you get started.
    • These blondies are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen! Just like my Fudgy Brownies.
    • These blondie bars would make a great and super simple birthday cake, no cake mix needed!

    Ingredients

    all of the ingredients laid out and labeled on a grey background.
    • I always make sure to use unsalted butter when baking because there is no “standard” for the amount of salt they can add to butter. So if you add salt to a recipe and then use salted butter you could end up with a very salty end product.
    • Vanilla extract is a must in baked goods just like salt. Real vanilla adds a better flavor than imitation vanilla.
    • Sprinkles. You can use whatever kind of sprinkles you have on hand or whatever you prefer, but I used jimmies. I prefer using dye free sprinkles. I also use sprinkles in my Champagne Macarons.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • The jimmy sprinkles can be switched out for any type of sprinkles that you like.
    • Golden Oreos or any vanilla cookie can be added to add more flavor. You can find more Golden Oreos in my Strawberry Crunch Cookies.
    • Add any type of chocolate you prefer to make these chocolate funfetti blondies.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

    STEP 2: In a small bowl combine the flour and salt. Whisk to remove lumps.

    STEP 3: In a medium bowl combine the butter and both sugars. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

    STEP 6: Fold in the flour until just combined. Be sure not to overmix.

    STEP 7: Fold in the sprinkles.

    STEP 7: Press the funfetti blondie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25- 30 minutes. The top should start to crack. If you would like the blondies to be more firm you can bake them for 5-10 minutes longer.

    Expert Baking Tips

    • Use an oven thermometer. Most ovens run either hot or cold. Using an oven thermometer ensures that you are baking your blondies at the perfect temperature.
    • Weigh your ingredients. One of the most common baking mistakes that I see is measuring incorrectly, especially with flour. The best way to get accurate measurements every time is to weigh them with a kitchen scale.
    • Don't overmix. You need to mix your batter until all of the ingredients are JUST combined, otherwise, you will make too much gluten and your blondies will be cakey instead of fudgy.

    Recipe FAQ's

    What is the difference between a blondie and a brownie?

    They don't have cocoa powder or melted chocolate mixed through out the batter.

    Why didn't my blondies didn't bake all of the way through?

    These blondies are thick and may need extra time in the oven if you want them to be a bit more baked in the middle. I would just add five minutes at a time until they are baked to your liking.

    How do I store blondies?

    Room Temperature: The blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
    Refrigerator:
    If stored correctly in an airtight container the Funfetti Blondies will last up to 1 week in the fridge.
    Freezer
    : If stored correctly in an airtight container they will last up to 2 months in the freezer.

      5 stars
      I never usually comment on recipes bc I always forget but after making this more than 5 times now I feel obligated to let you know that these are THE BEST!! My husband isn’t the biggest “dessert guy” (wtf, I know), but who doesn’t love sprinkles? So I made this one time to see if he’ll like, and not only is this his all time favorite treat now, but my god every time I’ve made this multiple people ask for the recipe, everyone asks for more after the pan is licked clean, and I’m about to make this for my husband instead of birthday cake, bc I know he’ll love this so much more. One time I actually rly overbaked, and it was actually still delicious and had an awesome crunch which I love, so now I overbake it a little every time 😂.
      Thank you!!!
