How to Store Homemade Blondies

Store: Keep the blondies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. You can refrigerate them if you prefer and, that way, they’ll keep for up to a week.
Freeze: Freeze these for up to 3 months. It’s best to cut the blondies into bars first and wrap them individually in plastic wrap before freezing.
Thaw: Defrost them in the refrigerator overnight.

Top Tips

Use cooled butter: Let the melted butter cool before mixing to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Toast the pecans: Toasting brings out their best flavor.
Don’t overmix: Stir just until combined for tender blondies.
No sticking: I use parchment paper sheets to stop them sticking to the baking sheet.
Cool completely: Cutting too early can cause crumbling. Let them set before slicing.

Double Chocolate Pecan Blondies FAQs

Do I have to toast the pecans?

Toasting is optional, but it really enhances the flavor.

Can I halve the recipe?

Yes, just bake it in an 8-inch square pan and adjust the time slightly.

Are blondies supposed to be gooey in the center?

A little softness is ideal, but they shouldn’t be wet or raw. They should be dense and chewy.
