There is something so comforting about a warm blondie fresh out of the oven. They are basically the brown sugar version of a brownie, and they are incredibly simple to put together when you need a quick dessert for the family.

I love that this base recipe is a blank canvas. You can toss in chocolate chips, walnuts, or even colorful candies depending on what you have in your pantry. Just make sure you do not overbake them so they stay nice and fudgy in the center.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, stir the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until the batter looks glossy.

  4. 4

    Fold in the flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

  5. 5

    Gently stir in your chocolate chips or nuts.

  6. 6

    Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

  8. 8

    Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For a decadent treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
