Recipe update – Jan 30th
I received my oven thermometer the other day ago and tested the temperature on my new oven. Since I had made these two days ago they came out cakey and over baked. My guess is that the oven at my old house didn’t quite get to 350 and that is why I had 30 minutes at first listed below. When I made these in my oven at my new house it took less time. I changed the time to 21 minutes but every oven can vary in temperatures so yours might take longer.
After making this recipe quite a few times it safe to say that your own, and your grandma’s oven, or neighbors oven might not all work the same. Even mine doesn’t.
Skinny Cake Batter Blondies – lightened up blondies with sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Perfect for any Birthday Party!
With the new Weight Watchers program, it can be kind of tough to get your favorite sweet in. If there’s a lot of sugar in the recipe, the points can get high. I love to bake and I think I’ve come up with a great blondie recipe that’s pretty low in calories and points.
It took me 3 times to get this recipe right. The first time, I overbaked the blondies. It was pretty bad too, the chocolate chips melted on the top and so did the sprinkles. That was one hard mess. The second time, the blondies didn’t have enough sugar. They tasted more like corn muffins. The third time is always a charm, right? They came out pretty good and tasty. Who doesn’t love lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips?
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Please do not think it is the ingredients listed and type of pan that caused the error. That is clearly not the issue here. The cake batter tasted fine but I made this recipe back in 2016 when I was living at my old house and had a different oven. It is the oven that is causing the issues here because I tried this recipe twice at my new house with this different oven now and even this oven is off. I updated the post above to explain the issue more in depth. You might want to buy a thermometer yourself because you said they came out dark and over baked. Comments are now closed.

You also changed baking powder to soda in the direction. I wish i could upload a picture to show you what mine looked like. They come out over baked and dark. I used an 8×8 as well, bc I don’t own a 8×11 pan.
Jenna
I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you but it is correct as stated. The only thing I fixed was the size pan used.
Amanda Kruise
Please fix this recipe. I made this by the ingredients listed and it did not turn out at all! They look so good in the picture and unfortunately i wastes my ingredients and time bc something is inaccurate!
Amanda Kruise
Is it baking soda or powder? I’m about to make them
Jenna
The recipe is correct. There is nothing wrong with it.

I’m assuming it’s (and used) baking powder, not baking soda and it NEEDS a 1/2 a cup of white sugar as well as the brown, which I did not use unfortunately. Maybe even another half or whole teaspoon of vanilla.
