Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and combine it with the brown sugar until smooth.
Step 2: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 3: Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined to form the batter.
Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

Add chocolate chips, nuts, or white chocolate chunks to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
For a chewier blondie, slightly underbake by a couple of minutes.
Use light or dark brown sugar depending on your preferred level of richness.

Storage

Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a soft, warm treat.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I substitute butter with oil?

Yes, you can use an equal amount of melted vegetable oil, but the texture will be slightly different—oil makes the blondies more moist but less rich.

How do I know when the blondies are done?

They are done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.

Blondies Ingredients

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups (400g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined without overmixing.
Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the blondie batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the blondies for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps the blondies firm up and makes them easier to slice.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
Make sure not to overbake to keep the blondies chewy and moist.
You can store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Use light or dark brown sugar to vary the depth of flavor.
