One bowl blondies caramel salted blondies

These sweet, salty, quick and easy One Bowl Salted Caramel Blondies are perfect for any summer party (or just any party or gathering in general!)

How to make One Bowl Caramel Salted Blondies

They’re super easy to make, taste absolutely yummy, and cleanup is a breeze!

Do you ever get invited somewhere and volunteer to bring something and then your mind goes completely blank on what to make or bring? This happens to me all the time, and I even have a food blog for Pete’s sake, so something delicious is expected. When I’m having one of those moments, my mind always wanders to these one bowl blondies…sweet blondies topped with ooey gooey caramel and a then the perfect complimentary saltiness from the sea salt. They’re always huge hit. They’re my fancy-yet-easy-go-to dessert. So let’s get started.

In a microwave safe bowl (and this is the only bowl you’ll be using) melt the butter a little, then add all the ingredients besides the toppings, mix, and spoon into a foil lined square baking dish (again, cleanup will be a breeze because you’re lining the baking dish with foil). Add the toppings, bake, and voila, delicious one bowl blondies!

What I love about this recipe is that it is so adaptable. Don’t have any caramel sauce on hand? Not a problem, use chocolate hot fudge sauce, peanut butter, chocolate chips or any type of candy, and top with sea salt.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1½ sticks butter 3/4 cup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ cups flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • For the topping:
  • 4 tbsp caramel sauce I use ice cream topping caramel sauce, Smuckers brand makes a great one called Spoonable Caramel Sauce and comes in a glass marmalade looking container
  • 1 tbsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a square baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl that will be big enough to hold all the ingredients, put the butter, then microwave it for 30 seconds to soften it (you want it melted a little and easy to work with, it may need an additional 30 seconds.)
  • Add remaining ingredients to the bowl that contains the now melted butter (flour, eggs, sugars, vanilla extract and pinch of salt) and stir until everything is combined.
  • Spoon blondie batter into the foil lined baking dish.
  • Spoon caramel sauce over the blondie batter in four rows or streaks, then run a butter knife through the lines to make the marble lines and bring the caramel into the batter a little (this isn’t necessary, you can just spoon caramel sauce over the top of the batter). Next, sprinkle the sea salt on top of the caramel.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven; let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the blondies to a cooling rack (do this by lifting the edges of the aluminum foil). Allow to cool and then cut into squares, and watch them disappear!

    I needed something quick and easy for an Easter dessert to take and I knew I wanted caramel in whatever I was taking. I bought just the regular caramel that you put on ice CREAM. OMG we all fell in dessert heaven with these. Yum!!! So easy to make too!

    Ha … I have the same problem, Philia (not knowing what to bring to a dinner etc. when asked). I think what I like about food blogging is that I don’t feel any pressure … I can just cook whatever I want when I want knowing that I won’t really be letting anyone down if it doesn’t turn out so great – I just give it another go or abandon it as a bad idea!
    I discovered blondies a while ago and haven’t looked back.Love the idea of swirling in caramel… oh yum yum!

    So delicious, love that clean up is easy! I totally have the blank-mind-disease too when I am trying to think of what to make – I’m not so good when I’m put on the spot. But you did good!

Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient.

Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs.

They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
