Baking these blondies in a muffin tin means you get 12 individually portioned treats, perfect for a bake sale, a party or sharing with friends. Kendra McKnight

Think of blondies as cousins to brownies. They’re flavored with brown sugar and studded with creamy white chocolate chips.

Like brownies, blondies are typically made in a baking pan and cut into squares when cool. Baking them in a muffin tin dramatically cuts down the baking and cooling time—so you get blondies extra ­fast!

Blondie Bites

Makes 12 blondie bites

• 1 1/4 cups all-­purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-­cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

Add flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently stir until just combined. Stir in white chocolate chips.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each cup about halfway.

Place muffin tin in the oven. Bake blondies until golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.

Remove muffin tin from oven. Place muffin tin on a cooling rack and let blondies cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes.

Remove blondies from muffin tin and transfer to a cooling rack. Let blondies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
