Cadbury Mini Egg Sourdough Blondies

These Cadbury Mini Egg Sourdough Blondies are a fun Easter twist on my original sourdough blondie recipe. I took the same chewy, buttery base that I love and gave it a festive upgrade by folding in crunchy, chocolatey Mini Eggs. The result is a perfectly sweet and tangy treat that’s just as great for using up sourdough discard as it is for celebrating spring.

What makes cadbury mini egg sourdough blondies stand out?

  • Depth of Flavor: Sourdough adds a complex depth, enhancing the buttery, caramel-like sweetness of the blondie base.
  • Chewy Texture: The sourdough helps achieve a perfectly chewy texture, making each bite satisfying and delicious.
  • Buttery & sweet: The use of butter and the mix of brown and regular sugar makes these blondies uniquely delectable.
  • Taste of tradition: These sourdough blondies are studded with colorful, crunchy Cadbury Mini Eggs that add a festive pop of chocolate in every bite.

Tips for Success

  • Cool Completely: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a metal pan: Using a metal pan for baking sourdough bondies is recommended for even heat distribution. This ensures they are cooked evenly.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Measure Accurately: Weigh your ingredients for precise measurements, especially the flour and sugar, to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Sourdough discard: I recommend using discard no more than a week old as this may result in a sour result.
  • Do Not Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to avoid developing too much gluten, which can result in tough blondies.
