Glad you’re enjoying the site! Maybe a tiny bit of sinkage but nothing significant, no. I know that some folks have found that this recipe firms up just a tad more with an extra tablespoons or two of flour. It’s less gooey, but also a little more structured. Hope that helps.

Hi Deb,

I’m new to the smitten kitchen world and I am so pleased I found it. I have made a few different recipes from the website and they have all turned out wonderfully. I have made this recipe twice in the past two days (go ahead, laugh out loud) and I have just one question: is it typical for the blondies to sink in the middle upon cooling once it has been baked or am I doing something wrong (possibly over stirring it allowing too much air to enter the batter)? Ccan’t wait to hear your response and congratulations on the completion of your first cookbook.

The first time I made these, I separated the mixture evenly between 8 mugs and with a huge selection of candies and other additions I bought, let the kids mix their own flavours before I put them into an all edges individual brownie pan. They turned out great although I had to adjust the time (about 7-10 mins less) because I used the individual brownie tin. Additions included white, dark and milk choc drops, crushed oreos, mini marshmallows, coconut, all sorts of M&Ms, mars bar, crushed mint choc cookies etc. etc.

And I’ve just taken my second batch out of the oven, again using my individual brownie pan. They are salted caramel with caramel sauce swirled through it, crushed pretzels and Rolo candies in the centre! They look wonderful and gooey.

Thanks for the recipe! Five stars!

Great, great recipe! I used dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chunks, almond extract, and mashed bananas. So good!

I made this using dried blueberries, white choc chip, chopped walnuts and a bit of coconut. Delicious! Thanks for the great posts.

I made these tonight. They are cooling on the counter, but look (and taste- of course I couldn’t resist) amazing. I used chopped pecans and milk chocolate chips. I think next time I’m going to swirl in some homemade honey peanut butter.

I also made your Jacked Up Banana Bread tonight, too. (I had freckled bananas!) Still waiting to see the results!

I made these today and they are so good. It’s my first time trying a Blondie and I’m not sure whether I prefer a chocolate brownie. I added m&m’s because I was lazy to go out to the store. The next time I make these, I will try the other combinations you listed above. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

I make these all the time, they are fantastic! Love this recipe. Usually make them with white chocolate, dried blueberries and pecans. They’re great! Sometimes just white chocolate and toffee bits. Such a versatile desert!
