Your new favorite spring time (or any time) treat
There’s nothing like a festive treat to lift spirits and leave you feeling excited for the happy days ahead. And these healthy Cadbury egg blondies? Well, they’re about as happy and festive as a dessert can be!
Perfect for the spring time, these blondies are made using mini Cadbury eggs. The colors are adorable, and the taste is even better! Nothing screams “later, winter!” quite like these.
This recipe only takes 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of baking time, which means that these mouth watering treats are only a half hour away. So what are you waiting for?! Let’s get to baking!
Ingredients in cadbury egg blondies
You’re only 10 ingredients away from the most mouth watering, festive, and even cute (these will be pastel colored!) blondies. Below is a list of all of the ingredients you’ll need, complete with many of my healthier favorites! So grab your almond butter, and let’s dive in.
- Oat flour: First up, 1/2 cup of oat flour will be the base of our blondies.
- Rolled oats: We will mix that with 1/2 cup of rolled oats โ the perfect ingredient for adding texture and even a dash of protein!
- Baking soda: Next, include 1/2 tsp of baking soda to help things cook properly.
- Salt: A little salt goes a long way. Add 1/2 tsp.
- Almond butter: Finally, one of the best ingredients in this dish, add 1 cup of almond butter!
- Coconut oil: 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil is used as the “liquid” component and helps to bind all of the ingredients together.
- Coconut sugar: We’ll be using coconut sugar in place of regular sugar in the amount of 1/2 cup.
- Eggs: 2 eggs will be used for consistency and baking purposes. Eggs bind everything together and help us get that fluffy blondie texture!
- Vanilla: Include 1 tsp of vanilla for flavor (this one is so important!).
- Cadbury mini eggs: Finally, 1 cup of Cadbury mini eggs will make these blondies complete.
The tools you’ll need to make this blondies recipe
Cadbury mini egg blondies are made using only 6 main tools and items. Here’s a quick list, followed by the measuring cups you’ll need!
- Baking dish
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
- Small mixing bowl
- Stirring utensil
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
For measuring, you’ll need the following sized cups: 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup.
How to make healthy Cadbury egg blondies
This recipe is quite similar to a brownie recipe. We’ll start by mixing the dry and wet ingredient separately, and then will we will put it in a dish and sprinkle Cadbury eggs on top! This recipe makes 12 fluffy, delicious blondies.
To begin, preheat the oven to 350Fยบ and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, coconut oil, and coconut sugar.
Whisk in the two eggs and the vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until well combined. Fold in 1/2 of the Cadbury eggs.
Pour and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, and then top with the remaining Cadbury eggs.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool before eating.
Recipe Tips
Here are some great quick tips to use as you prep your mini egg blondies.
Using a different sized pan
I recommend an 8×8 pan for this recipe, though any sized pan will work. The only change will be in the thickness of the blondies. The larger the pan, the thinner they will be.
Adding extra candy
Want to add even more fun to your blondies? Extra candies do the trick! I recommend anything chocolately or creamy โ M&Ms, mini Reese’s or even crushed Twix bars would probably be very tasty.
Coconut oil should be melted
Don’t forget to melt your coconut oil before adding it to the ingredients! This plays a big part in the texture and consistency of the blondies.
How are these blondies healthier?
I love using certain ingredients in my baked goods to make my dishes as nutrient-dense and good-for-you as possible. Here’s how I made these blondies a step above the rest!
- Oat flour: Oat flour makes a great substitute for regular processed white flour, as it is both lower in carbs and higher in fiber!
- Rolled oats: I love using rolled oats in baked goods โ it’s the perfect way to sneak in extra vitamins and minerals.
- Almond butter: A touch higher in certain nutrients, almond butter is slightly healthier than peanut butter. It certainly helps in our quest for the healthiest ingredients, though!
- Coconut oil: I pretty much always use coconut oil over other oils (vegetable, canola, etc.).
- Coconut sugar: Last but not least, using coconut sugar in place of regular sugar is a great way to make your baked goods a bit more nutrient-rich. Plus, it tastes great!
Storing blondies
Blondies can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Keep them in a tightly sealed container, and they should stay fresh and yummy at room temperature for ~4 days, and in the refrigerator for ~1 week.

Katie says
What a fun twist on a classic blondie! The salty-sweet combo of the almond butter & Cadbury eggs is so good!
★★★★
Erin says
Hi Katie, so happy you enjoyed them! ๐
Hannah says
These were really good! I had to wait a year to make them since I couldnโt find Cadbury eggs after Easter when I was late to the party last year. The blondies sort of sucked up the Cadbury eggs placed on top so those just got incorporated into the barsโฆso not nearly as pretty! My only recommendation would be to try and chop up the Cadbury eggs a little bit or add in some mini chocolate chips as well to get a little more even disbursement of chocolate bites throughout.
★★★★
Erin says
Hi Hannah, so glad you liked them and good idea!
Elena says
I want to sub amarena cherries for the chocolate candy – do you think using the same amount would work? Thanks:)
Erin says
Hi Elena, I haven’t tried that sub before but it should be fine! I’d just make sure the cherries are patted dry and not wet/in a syrup before you use them. Let me know how the blondies come out!!
Katie says
I think this is my favorite ELW dessert recipe!! I love using oatmeal and oat flour when baking. I used chocolate chips instead of the Cadbury Eggs. I made this a while ago and am so glad I found the recipe so I can make it this weekend!

Erin says
Hi Katie, so happy you love them so much and made them your own!!
kendra says
I could’ve eaten this entire tray. They are so soft and chewy (in the best way). Any time I see a pack of Cadbury eggs I will be buying them just to make these blondies
★★★★★

Hi Joanna, so glad you loved them!
Joanna Beveridge says
These were a huge hit for Easter! The texture was great and perfect sweet treat for my family without too much sweetness. I did 1 batch with almond butter and 1 batch with peanut butter for those with tree nut allergies. The shelled Reeseโs pb eggs also go great with the Cadbury eggs!
Erin says
Hi Joanna, so happy you loved them and made them your own!
Chelsea says
Did i have to go back to the store to buy more Cadbury eggs because i ate the other bags? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes! Make these with your newly discounted Cadbury eggs and thank Erin everyday for being a genius

Had me at mini eggs! These were incredibly delicious- easy to make and stayed so fresh! Swapped in some peanut butter as I was low on almond butter & was really happy with the flavour! Sad when they were gone!

OMG. These are AMAZING! And knowing they are made with quality, wholesome ingredients makes the experience that much better!

Jennifer says
Soo I want to love this recipe because I love every one of Erins creations but I let them cool and they are so crumbly, I donโt know what I did wrong. I read the whole blog post in case there were any tips or tricks but I followed the recipe to a T!
★★★★
Erin says
Hi Jennifer, so sorry you didn’t enjoy them. What kind of oat flour did you use? Store bought is best for these and not packing it too tightly full.
Lauren says
Mini Cadbury eggs are my kryptonite. These are fantastic! I added in some mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut. Top notch!
★★★★★
Erin says
Hi Lauren, so glad you loved them!!

The perfect amount of cadbury eggs so that each bite is the ideal ratio of chocolate and gooey blondie! So easy to make!
★★★★★
Erin says
Hi Olivia, so glad you loved them!!
Molly says
These are TO DIE FOR! I rarely eat packaged candy anymore (had enough growing up for a lifetime lol) but cadbury egg minis are still my jam every easter. And having them inside these amazing almond butter blondies is even better. Nothing on ELW has failed me yet so I am absolutely making the carrot cake next weekend for Easter.

Hi Andrea, so glad you loved them so much!!
Hannah Neville says
Make these. RIGHT. NOW. They are the fudgiest, most gooey, decadent blondies on earth. My husband and I were going to share two of them but before I had a chance at taking a bite, they were almost gone LOL. Once I took a bite, I couldnโt blame him what-so-ever. My only advice is to let them cool completely before cutting! I am in recovery from an ED, and Erin allows me to be able to enjoy amazing recipes without being hard on myself for it. ๐
