Blonde Brownies (often called Blondies) are a twist on the classic brownie that combine sweet and salty by incorporating the rich flavors of maple syrup and toasted pecans. This recipe offers a warm, nutty sweetness that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup white chocolate or butterscotch chips (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the toasted pecans and white chocolate or butterscotch chips, if using.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Golden, chewy, and irresistibly rich! These classic blonde brownies are buttery, sweet, and packed with melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Perfect for any occasion! They also store well in the refrigerator or freezer.
