Description

Brown Butter Blondies are chewy treats that balance rich, nutty depth and buttery sweetness.

Perfect for a sophisticated homemade dessert or a satisfying snack, these blondies deliver unforgettable flavor in every bite and can be easily customized with nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 120g plant-based butter
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 190g all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Plant-Based Butter: Melt the plant-based butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously as it foams and then begins to brown lightly, releasing nutty aromas. Once the butter turns golden brown and toasted bits appear at the bottom, remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
  2. Mix Brown Sugar and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and well blended, creating a base for a fudgy texture.
  3. Add Brown Butter and Vanilla Extract: Slowly pour the browned butter into the sugar and egg mixture while stirring constantly to combine. Whisk in the natural vanilla extract to enhance flavor depth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl for even distribution. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet batter, stirring gently and carefully to avoid overmixing.
  5. Incorporate Optional Mix-ins: If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and/or plant-based chocolate chips, evenly distributing them throughout the batter while maintaining its texture.
  6. Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the baking pan to set their texture. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use a light-colored pan to monitor the browning of the butter easily.
  • Allow blondies to cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dryness.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain tender texture and avoid toughness.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; some moist crumbs are ideal for chewy blondies.
