Browned Butter Blondies
Report
Browned Butter Blondies deliver a rich, nutty flavor from butter browned until golden and aromatic, combined with a sweet batter of sugars, eggs, and flour. Optional pecans and white chocolate chips add texture and sweetness, while baking in a 9x13 pan creates a thinner, chewy blondie. These bars have a moist, dense crumb and golden crust, making them suitable for serving warm or at room temperature as a dessert or snack.
Description
The recipe starts by carefully browning butter to bring out its nutty aroma before cooling and mixing with granulated and brown sugars. Eggs and vanilla are incorporated, followed by salt, baking powder, and flour for structure. Folding in white chocolate chips and pecans adds layers of texture and flavor. The batter is spread in a greased 9x13 pan, baking about 35-40 minutes until set with slightly crisp edges and soft interior. Using a larger pan yields thinner blondies with a chewier bite. These treats can be served warm or cooled and are convenient for sharing or making ahead.

Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pecans optional
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add butter to the pan. Melt and brown butter for about 3-4 minutes, until it has turned a more golden color and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together browned, cooled butter and sugar.
- Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Add in salt, baking powder, and flour, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts (optional additions).
- Pour blondie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven when done. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For thicker blondies, use smaller pans like 8x8 or 9x9 and increase baking time to 55-60 minutes.
- Allow browned butter to cool completely before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Optional nuts and white chocolate chips can be omitted or substituted based on preference.
