Delicious browned butter blondies with toasted nuts that offer a chewy texture and rich, nutty flavor. Quick and easy to make, perfect for gatherings or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, browned carefully for that nutty flavor
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (120g) toasted nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds), coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 1 cup (226g) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as it melts and starts to foam. After about 4-6 minutes, the butter will turn a golden-brown with a nutty aroma. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting later.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) brown sugar and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the cooled browned butter into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine. The batter will be rich and glossy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  7. Spread 1 cup (120g) chopped nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool slightly, then fold into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out with the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to watch the butter brown clearly and stir constantly to avoid burning. Toast nuts to add crunch and prevent sogginess. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep blondies tender. If browned butter firms up, gently rewarm before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
