What Are Blondies?
I like to call these sweet little treats the cousin to our favorite Fudgy Homemade Brownies. Blondies are similar to brownies except they are made without the chocolate flavor of cocoa powder. Instead blondies get their rich flavor from a good amount of brown sugar and vanilla extract. And to make these blondies even more special, we used brown butter, which enhances the flavor and all together gives them a slight caramel, butterscotch taste.
Ingredients For Blondies
Here’s everything you need to make these irresistible Blondie bars:
- Brown Butter: We used browned butter to add a rich, nutty, caramel flavor to the blondies. It not only gives it double the flavor, but also adds a beautiful golden brown color to these bars.
- Brown sugar & Granulated white sugar: Brown sugar is one of the key ingredients and adds sweetness and lots of moisture to the blondies. We tested this recipe with just brown sugar and also using a combination of brown & white sugar. The use of brown & white sugar was the perfect balance and definitely the winner!
- Eggs: Eggs give the blondies strength and helps them bake into a sliceable texture.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds even more rich flavor to the blondies.
- All-purpose flour: Flour provides structure and body to the blondies.
- Baking Powder: Baking powder helps the blondies
