Description
Super yummy and easy blondies made in one bowl with no mixer! These blondie brownies start with tons of deeply browned butter and have a nutty, caramel flavor that is to die for.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 1-½ cup Brown Sugar
- 4 teaspoons Vanilla (not A Typo!)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1-½ cup Chocolate Chips Or Chunks
Preparation
Brown the butter. Place the butter in a skillet over medium heat. The butter will melt, then foam, then start to brown on the bottom. This process will take about 10 minutes. Once the butter foams, stir nearly continuously to allow the butter to brown but not burn. When most of the foam is gone and the milk solids are very brown on the bottom of the skillet, turn the heat off, transfer the browned butter to a large bowl, and let cool for 10-15 minutes until warm but not hot.
When ready to proceed, preheat the oven the 350F and line a square baking pan (8×8 or 9×9) with parchment paper or cooking spray.
Returning to the cooled brown butter, add the brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate the sugar and eggs with the butter.
Add the flour and salt and stir until very smooth. The batter will be caramel colored and should be glossy. Stir in the chocolate chips and transfer to the baking dish.
Bake the blondies for 25-30 minutes until the edges start to pull away from the edges and the center is barely set. We are going for gooey here.
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan. Cut into small squares, serve, congratulate yourself, decide whether or not you feel like sharing. Enjoy!
Notes:
• You can brown the butter slightly longer in advance and let it cool completely for a more “chocolate chips inside a blondie” effect. Making the batter while the butter is still warm melts some of the chocolate chips, resulting in a swirled effect, which I love. Both methods are delicious!
• I use salted butter when making this recipe. If you have unsalted butter, add a few more pinches of salt to the batter. It’s needed to balance the sweetness of the sugar and chocolate chips.
