Brown Butter Blondies

Recipe by our in-house chef, @MaddyGoldberg

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Serving Size: 9 blondies

Ingredients

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

Method

Make brown butter: Add butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Melt while stirring constantly with a whisk. Once butter is completely melted it will begin to foam and form bubbles on top. Continue to whisk constantly until very foamy. After about 5 minutes it will begin to change colour. Once you see a caramel color with brown bits at the bottom of the pan, transfer to a glass dish. 

Make the batter: Combine ½ cup of brown butter (this is slightly less than you made), sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 1 minute. Add egg and vanilla, stir on low until combined. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Transfer dry mix into the wet mix. Using a spatula, fold in the ingredients until just combined. 

Bake the brownies: Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x8 inch dish with parchment paper. Transfer brownie batter into the dish. Spread evenly with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.
