How to Make Vanilla Brownies
Make the brownie batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.. Add in the softened butter, flout and salt. Add the chocolate chips.
Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the baking dish, and bake until the toothpick comes out clean.
Frost the Brownies: Frost the brownies with a spatula with the vanilla frosting and add more white chocolate chips on top.
Are Blondies and Vanilla Brownies the Same?
Blondies and vanilla brownies may seem similar, but they are not exactly the same. While they share some similarities, there are a few key differences between the two.
Blondies are essentially a vanilla-flavored version of brownies. They are characterized by their dense and chewy texture, similar to traditional brownies. However, the main difference lies in the ingredients used. Blondies typically do not contain cocoa powder or melted chocolate like brownies do. Instead, they rely on brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract to provide their distinctive flavor.
On the other hand, vanilla brownies are a variation of the classic chocolate brownie. They incorporate vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste into the batter, along with the usual brownie ingredients such as cocoa powder or chocolate, in this case melted white chocolate. This gives these brownies a more pronounced vanilla flavor, while still maintaining the fudgy and chewy texture associated with brownies.
Tips, Tricks and Variations
Quality ingredients: Use high-quality vanilla extract and white chocolate for the best flavor. It makes a noticeable difference in the final result.
Don’t overmix the batter: Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough texture.
Add mix-ins: Get creative by adding your favorite mix-ins to the batter. Chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even mini chocolate chips can add extra texture and flavor.
Experiment with frostings: While creamy frosting is a classic choice, feel free to explore different frostings. Cream cheese frosting, vanilla glaze, or even a drizzle of melted dark chocolate can give your brownies a unique twist.
Garnish with toppings: Sprinkle some shredded coconut, colorful sprinkles, or crushed cookies on top of the frosting to add visual appeal and an extra touch of flavor.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream: Warm brownies paired with a scoop of your favorite ice cream make for a heavenly dessert. The warm and cold combination is simply delightful.
Mini brownies or bars: Instead of baking them in a traditional square pan, try making mini brownies in a muffin tin for adorable bite-sized treats. Alternatively, you can bake the batter in a rectangular pan to create bars that are perfect for sharing.
