Cadbury Egg Easter Protein Blondies

Happy Easter everyone! It is a weird time. Normally I’d be spending the day with all my family, going to Church, having a nice big meal, and of course plenty of CHOCOLATE! But, this year due to the circumstances of the world, online Church it is while consuming many of these Cadbury Egg Easter Protein Blondies!

Yep, you heard that right: CADBURY EGG EASTER PROTEIN BLONDIES

The last few weeks have been so weird. Sometimes I don’t even know what day of the week it is. I realized yesterday that I hadn’t even made any Easter desserts, so I went over to Kroger and got some goodies to make these. I rarely have Cadbury Eggs, but holy cow, they are addicting. I got the mini eggs as well as the Oreo Egg and Reese’s Egg. I mean, how could I not get various types?!?

I will run you through the steps of making these, which even though they look complicated, is quite easy. I am a huge fan of recipes like this because for the bottom blondie layer, you literally does everything into a food processor and let it do all the work.

And a quick side note, if you are looking for a food processor, this Cuisinart is the one to get. I’ve had it for about 6 years and it hasn’t let me down once!

Step 1: Add all blondie ingredients to food processor

No need for multiple mixing bowls. Add everything (except for the chocolate chips and mini eggs) to the food processor and let it do all the work!

Step 2: add the mini eggs and chocolate chips

Pules a few times to incorporate. Don’t completely blend or the eggs and chocolate chips will be too chopped up.

Step 3: Prepare the pan and pour in the batter

I always line my pans with parchment or foil because it makes it super easy to bull the blondies out once cooled. And even though they say it is a nonstick pan, I don’t always believe it!

Step 4: Bake for 18-20 mins

Once baked, the blondies should look like this image below. You can see some cuts in the middle where I stuck a knife in to check when they were done. I always prefer under-baking a little, that way they stay moist and almost gooey.

Step 5: make the frosting

Rather than mixing the frosting in a bowl, I actually just added it to the food processor. It will work the same mixing in a bowl, but I figured that would just be another dish I’d have to clean. I also added a few cheeky Cadbury eggs blended up in the frosting. Totally optional, but totally delicious.

Step 6: frost the blondies and add the toppings!

Step 7: finally, cut into bars and enjoy!

My favorite part. The part where everything is finished and you can begin demolishing these amazing Cadbury Egg Easter Protein Blondies!

I am going to be dropping these off to some family friends today. I’m hoping they will love them as much as I did, which is pretty hard to do because these are one of my most delicious treats as of lately. Oh yeah, and the Easter theme can’t be beat.
