Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, use dark brown sugar.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or dried fruit for the chocolate chips.
- Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for the best texture.
