Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 75 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and whisk until the batter is fully combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan. Slice into 9 squares and serve!
