Brown Butter Blondies
Dessert treats are always a go-to in my household. New recipes are always popping up and I’m sure that everyone will never run out of new ideas. And, I happen to have a new recipe for you and your friends and family to try. These Brown Butter Blondies may become a favorite and become a common dessert to make in your household now.
Blondie recipes are always a hit; no matter the occasion. I think one of the reasons is because they are so different than the norm.

If your family loves strawberries then these Strawberry Blondies are simple and will surely become a favorite. Or if you prefer a simpler flavor, my basic Apple Blondies are just like eating an apple pie.
Ingredients
- Butter- Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Light brown sugar- This sugar will add richness to your blondies.
- Egg- Use room temperature eggs for this recipe.
- Vanilla– Use pure vanilla for the best flavoring.
- Flour- Use all-purpose flour for the best results.
- Salt- This salt will bring out the flavors in your recipe.
- Chocolate chips- These will be added to the blondie batter.
How to Make Brown Butter Blondies
- Set your oven to 350 degrees. Use 2 pieces of parchment paper to line an 8 x 8″ pan.
- Put the butter into a small skillet and heat on medium temp until melted.
- It should smell nutty and start to form brown bits on the bottom of the pan. This will take about 5 minutes. You will let it sit to cool until it reaches room temperature, so it doesn’t melt the chocolate chips.
- Add the room temperature butter (brown bits and all), brown sugar, egg, vanilla, flour, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Add some flaky salt on top.
- Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, check on it so it does not over-bake.
- Let it sit and cool thoroughly before enjoying it.
What do Blondies Taste Like?
Blondies have a wonderful flavor! You can taste a butterscotch flavor in blondies as well as a caramel-like flavor. This is mostly from the use of brown sugar in the recipe.
What Mix In’s Can I Add to Blondies?
Since Blondies have a caramel-like flavor or butterscotch there are a few add-ins that would work well. For these blondies, I always recommend giving it a try before adding anything because there are incredible by themselves. However, you can add in chocolate chips, nuts, crushed Oreos, and more.
