Calories: 299kcal
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- 9x9 Metal Baking Pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 2 count eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup chopped pecans optional
- ½ cup white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 9 metal baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pour the cooled melted butter and brown sugar into a large bowl and stir until well combined.
- Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until completely combined. The mixture will be thick.
- In a separate smaller bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, stirring until fully combined.
- Towards the end of mixing, fold in the chopped pecans and white chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the brownie pan (batter will be very thick.) Spread the batter in an even layer.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a knife in the center comes out clean. You want the edges to be set and the middle of the pan to be light brown and shiny, but not jiggly.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Preparation Tips:
Let the butter cool down before mixing with the brown sugar. Take the blondies out when the middle is still light brown and shiny, as they will finish cooking outside of the oven. And after the finished product cools down, use a plastic knife to get perfect squares!
Storage Tips:
Store in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
Freezer Instructions:
Wrap slices in plastic wrap, store in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, let the frozen blondies thaw overnight in the fridge or on the counter.
