Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 unit large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for a chewy texture).
Remove from the oven and allow the blonde brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes, and enjoy!
