Gather all of your ingredients and supplies to make your Easter M&M blondies.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray or parchment paper.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another, beat melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla and eggs, then gradually add the dry ingredients.
Fold in M&M’s and sprinkles, then spread the batter into the pan.
Top with extra M&M’s and sprinkles, then bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Let blondies cool for 30 minutes before slicing into 12 squares.
Let your blondies cool completely in the baking pan before removing them and storing them in an airtight container for up to a week.
Blondies may fall apart due to overmixing, underbaking, or slicing before they’ve fully cooled. Using the correct pan size and allowing them to set properly helps maintain their structure.
Yes, blondies should be slightly gooey in the middle but set around the edges. They should have a soft, chewy texture without being overly underbaked.
Brownies are rich and chocolatey, made with cocoa or melted chocolate, while blondies have a buttery, vanilla-based flavor and rely on brown sugar for their chewy texture. Unlike brownies, blondies don’t contain chocolate as a primary ingredient.

I just made these. Easy recipe and the results are very good. I had miniature Easter Eggs, not M&M’s. I should have cut them a bit, but overall I really like this recipe and will use again. Thank you.
