Description

These Gingerbread Blondies are deliciously rich and warmly spiced bars perfect for the holiday season. Combining the deep flavor of molasses with classic gingerbread spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, these blondies offer a moist, chewy texture with a subtle sweetness. A drizzle of white chocolate adds a creamy contrast, making them a perfect festive treat for family and friends.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups light brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup (1 ⅓ sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt

Topping (Optional)

  • 2 oz white chocolate, for melting and drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to get ready for the batter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add molasses, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the wet ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and kosher salt. Stir gently until the batter is uniform with no visible streaks of flour.
  4. Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are firm and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  5. Melt and Drizzle White Chocolate: Once the blondies are cooled, melt the white chocolate gently (using a microwave or double boiler). Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the top of the blondies. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger ginger flavor, increase the ground ginger to 2 ½ teaspoons.
  • The white chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a lovely creamy sweetness that complements the spices.
  • To keep the blondies moist, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
  • You can substitute unsalted butter with salted butter but reduce the added salt accordingly.
  • For a nutty twist, try adding ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
