Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8×8 or 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or grease it well with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and packed dark brown sugar. Stir well until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Stir vigorously to blend everything together into a smooth, consistent batter.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated without overmixing.
  5. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth out the surface.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes if using a 9×13 inch pan or 40-45 minutes for an 8×8 inch pan. The blondies are done when the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the baking time, especially if using different pan sizes, to avoid overbaking.
  • For added texture, consider folding in ½ cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
  • Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
