Blonde brownies, often called “blondies,” are a deliciously chewy and sweet alternative to traditional chocolate brownies. These rich, golden bars are packed with flavors of vanilla and brown sugar, giving them a caramel-like taste that’s irresistibly satisfying. Perfect for a quick dessert or a sweet snack, blonde brownies can be customized with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even toffee bits to add extra texture and flavor. They’re simple to make and provide a comforting sweetness that’s hard to resist.
Blonde Brownies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well until fully incorporated.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Mix-ins: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake the Blondies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the blonde brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Enjoy these chewy, sweet, and utterly delicious blonde brownies with a tall glass of milk!
