Description

Easy to make with simple pantry staples, they offer a perfect chewy center and slightly crisp edges, customizable with nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits for a versatile dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227 g) brown butter (natural gelling agent), cooled slightly
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (plant-based), such as toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries or cherries
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to unlock the signature flavor.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter, light brown sugar, and eggs together until creamy. Stir in vanilla extract (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to create a flavorful base.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture gently to avoid overmixing, preserving the perfect texture.
  4. Add Extras: Fold in your chosen optional mix-ins such as plant-based chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits to add texture and flavor bursts.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter evenly into a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and chewy texture.

Notes

  • Watch the butter closely while browning to prevent burning; timing is key.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies.
  • Use fresh vanilla extract (natural) and baking powder for best flavor and rise.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and neat edges.
  • Start checking blondies a few minutes before the recommended baking time as oven temperatures vary.
