Brown butter blondies are hands down one of my favorite baked treats. They blend the rich flavor of browned butter with the chewy bite of a classic blondie.

Equipment

1 8X8 inch baking pan
Parchment paper (for easy removal)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter unsalted
1 cup sugar light brown
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1.25 cup flour all-purpose
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. This takes about 5–7 minutes. Remove the foam that forms on the surface with a spoon.
Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning. Transfer the browned butter to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Once the browned butter has cooled for 5–7 minutes, whisk in 1 cup light brown sugar until combined.
Add one egg. whisk well. Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp salt.
Combine 1.25 cups flour and 1/4 tsp baking powder. Stir in dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined (avoid overmixing).
Fold in 1 cup dark chocolate chunks.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, the top has cracked, and a toothpick comes out batter free.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (about 1–2 hours). Use the parchment overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and slice them into squares.
