Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined to form a thick batter.
  3. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform thickness.
  4. Bake the Blondies: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set and prevents crumbling.

Notes

  • For extra texture, add 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender.
  • Use light or dark brown sugar depending on the flavor depth you prefer.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
