Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until the batter is glossy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blond brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy these chunky, chewy treats with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
