Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
If using mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out, then transfer to a cutting board.
Slice into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
