If you love blondies and you love circus animal cookies then you are going to go nuts over these Circus Animal Cookie Blondies! Blondies are basically a vanilla (non-chocolate) version of brownies. So they’re a bit more dense and moist than cake.

These blondies are super easy to make and are whipped up all in one bowl. Plus, look at how colorful they are! With circus animal cookies baked right in, they have that frosted cookie crunch among the sprinkles and blondie. It’s basically heaven on a plate for me since circus animal cookies are one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

The only thing I did to change up these blondies and make them just a touch better-for-you was to swap half of the sugar for a natural sweetener that measures cup for cup like sugar. Stevia, splenda, monk fruit, any of these will work!

I also used rainbow nonpareils and large rainbow ‘crunch’ sprinkles. (You know, the sort that you find on cosmic brownies.) I used them to add more pops of color and of course a little bonus texture in the blondies as well. But feel free to use your favorite rainbow sprinkles, jimmies, or nonpareils.
