There’s something so special about baking from scratch during the holidays—especially when it’s with fresh milled flour. It turns a simple Easter treat into something rich, nourishing, and honestly, next level. These Fresh Milled Flour Easter Blondies are the perfect mix of celebration and comfort. They’re buttery, golden, and chewy (you know I despise the word “moist,” but if there were ever a time it fits, this is it).
Whether you’re tucking them into an Easter basket, bringing them to brunch, or baking them just because, these blondies are the kind of treat that brings people together—corner piece lovers and center slice fans alike.
Speaking of that, I’m a soft middle-piece kind of girl. But my husband and my mother-in-law? Corner piece loyalists. It’s honestly the one thing we just don’t agree on… but it makes us a match made in bar heaven. One pan. Total harmony.

Equipment

- Kitchen Scale
- measuring spoons, mixing bowls
- hand mixer or kitchen aid
- 9x9 pan
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 whole egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 sticks 1 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups soft white wheat fresh milled flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Sugars
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Mix-Ins
- 1 12 oz bag Easter M&M candies
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional—but highly encouraged
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper (or grease it well if you’re skipping the parchment).
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble your eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth.
- Add in your egg and egg yolks, one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix together your fresh milled flour, baking powder, and salt. Then gently fold it into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the M&Ms and chocolate chips, reserving a small handful of each to press on top before baking (for that extra pretty finish).
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. It’ll be thick—that’s what makes the bars so perfectly chewy.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges have just set. The center should still look slightly soft—it’ll firm up as it cools.
- Let cool completely before slicing… unless you’re like me and sneak a warm piece from the middle anyway.
Notes
