Jump to RecipeGordon Ramsay Blondie Recipe Ingredients
- 226 g unsalted butter, melted
- 250 g packed brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 285 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 115 g white chocolate chips
- 130 g chopped walnuts
How To Make Gordon Ramsay Blondie Recipe
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to act as handles.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is glossy and uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold them together with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Bake the Blondies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Cool Completely: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before using the parchment paper handles to lift them out. Slice and serve.

Recipe Tips
- How do you get clean, neat slices? Chilling the batter in the pan for about 15 minutes before baking helps prevent the edges from spreading too much, resulting in a tighter crumb and cleaner edges for slicing.
- Why is weighing ingredients important? For baked goods like blondies, accuracy matters. Using a kitchen scale to weigh your flour is more accurate than using measuring cups. Too much flour is the most common mistake and will result in a dry, cakey texture instead of a chewy one.
- How can I improve the flavor of the nuts? Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter makes a huge difference. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes at 175°C (350°F) until fragrant. This deepens their nutty flavor.
- What’s the best pan to use? A light-colored aluminum pan is best for blondies and brownies. Glass or dark metal pans can cause the edges to overbake or burn before the center is cooked through.
What To Serve With Blondies
Blondies are delicious on their own, but also pair wonderfully with:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce
- A glass of cold milk
- A cup of coffee or tea
How To Store Blondies
- Room Temperature: Store the cooled and sliced blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

FAQs
What is the difference between a blondie and a brownie?
The main difference is the chocolate. Brownies are made with cocoa powder and/or melted chocolate for a rich, chocolatey flavor. Blondies have a vanilla and brown sugar base, giving them a caramel or butterscotch-like flavor, and they typically contain mix-ins like white chocolate or nuts instead of cocoa.
Why are my blondies cakey instead of chewy?
This is almost always caused by having too much flour in the batter or overmixing it after the flour has been added. Weighing your flour is the best way to be accurate.
Can I use different mix-ins?
Absolutely. You can substitute the white chocolate chips and walnuts with other mix-ins like milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips, pecans, macadamia nuts, or dried fruit.

Ingredients
226 g unsalted butter, melted

2 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
115 g white chocolate chips
130 g chopped walnuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 13×9 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together melted butter and both sugars. Stir in eggs, yolk, and vanilla until glossy.

Notes
- For cleaner edges, chill the batter in the pan for 15 minutes before baking.
- Weighing your flour is more accurate than using cups and prevents a cakey texture.
- Toasting the walnuts for 5 minutes at 175°C (350°F) before adding them to the batter significantly enhances their flavor.
- Use a light-colored aluminum pan for the most even baking; glass pans can overbake the edges.
