“When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this – you haven’t.” ― Thomas A Edison
Usually (almost always ) I am a through and through chocolate girl. And I would take a brownie over a blondie any day of the week. So if I have to be impressed by a blondie , it has to be THAT good. I already have a chocolate chip blondie recipe on the blog , which is to die for , but I wanted to come up with an equally good version for people who prefer not to bake with eggs.
Ta da!
This blondie is fantastic . A blondie is not just a cookie bar. It has to be just like a brownie in texture – chewy with a fudgy centre ,just sweet enough, that crinkly top and a wonderfully butterscotch flavour. This one is all that and more.. not merely a “good enough” compromise for the sake of eggless baking !
And they couldn’t be easier to put together ! Its literally a matter of tossing in the ingredients into a saucepan and mixing them up! And like all blondies, they are infinitely customisable . Keep them plain , add in butterscotch chips (yum!) , nuts (if you like crunch) or dry fruit! Maybe Swirl in some cream cheese or caramel or Nutella? I added a handful of dark chocolate chips …. couldn’t keep my distance from the chocolate after all!
Take it from me …. you will not miss the chocolate or eggs in these blondies! They are positively addictive!
PS . I do realise my blondies aren’t exactly “blonde” … thats because I used dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar will give you blonder blondies!

Hi there from Switzerland!
I just put the blondies in the oven and can’t wait to taste them. But making them made me think about your measurements. The gram amounts you give in the recipe are not right… 1/4 cup yoghurt can impossibly be that much in grams, it’s wax too much. Also the other ingredients seem to be too much. Sorry
Wow, this recipe is a no fail recipe. You can really throw the kitchen sink into these and it still comes out good. I added honey, 1/2cup of rice flour, and 1/2 cup apple cider and cinnamon when doubling your receipt and it came out great. I use to have chickens and store bought eggs taste bad, so your recipe is well appreciated. Thank you, I can’t wait to make them again. I wanna try flavored Greek yogurt next time like key lime or pineapple
Really glad you enjoyed the blondies Reid. You are right.. The recipe is quite versatile!
Hi, I have made these several times. They are just absolutely yummy. I would like to know if powdered jaggery would work in this recepie instead of sugar.
Thanks
Hi Vishakha… Glad u liked the bars.. i havent actually used powdered jaggery but if you have used them in any other bakes, you can use them here as well !
Hi Akshatha,
I tried making them with jaggery. The blondies turned out just perfect.
Thanks for the recipie. Never fails..
Should I use caster sugar instance of brown sugar?
Hi Divya… this recipe requires brown sugar or palm sugar for the butterscotch flavour. castor sugar wouldn’t work as well…
Can I use Greek yoghurt for thick curd in same proportion .?
Yes Manisha… That would work great …
What do you mean by “thick yogurt”
Hey Sukriti.. just not thin like buttermilk… Something that you need a spoon to scoop…:-)
