Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and/or nuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
