Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Browned Butter Blondie:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chocolate chips of your choice)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)

Instructions

Brown the Butter:

  1. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly.
  2. Brown the Butter: Once melted, continue cooking the butter for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. The butter will foam and eventually turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat once browned.

Prepare the Blondie Batter:

  1. Mix Brown Sugar and Butter: Pour the browned butter into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in the brown sugar, mixing until smooth and well-combined.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add the Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).

Bake the Blondies:

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Bake the Blondies: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  3. Cool the Blondies: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
