Description
These blondies are chewy and rich, similar to brownies but with a vanilla and butterscotch flavor. They are easy to make and perfect for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or white)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts, pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then 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, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, underbake slightly.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can customize with different mix-ins like toffee bits, dried fruit, or sprinkles.
