Ingrédients
  

For the Blondies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and browned
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans toasted

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. This is brown butter. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the toasted chopped pecans.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

For a chewier blondie, bake for a shorter amount of time. For a firmer blondie, bake for a longer time.
