Brown Butter Blondies Recipe
Soft and chewy blondie bars made with brown butter and toasted pecans. These are the BEST brown butter blondies you'll ever make!
Servings: 24 blondies
Cost: $5
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch metal pan with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
- Slice butter into tablespoons and place in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Melt and stir occasionally until the butter turns a dark amber/brown color. It will bubble and then foam and then brown (it goes fast, so don’t walk away from the stove).
- Pour butter into a large bowl. Stir butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Mix in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Mix in salt, baking powder, then flour. Stir in pecans.
- Spread in prepared pan. The mixture is wet so it’s best to spray your hands with cooking spray and then smooth the dough with your hands to get an even layer.
- Bake for about 22-25 minutes until they start to turn golden. Err on the side of under baked with these - they’ll finish baking as they cool and you don’t want them over baked.
Notes
- Bake blondie bars in a metal pan for best results.
- To toast your nuts: place in a saucepan over low heat and stir constantly, shaking the pan occasionally, until you just start to smell the nuts. Remove from heat and pan immediately to cool.
