Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (191 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
Wet and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups (281 grams) mix-ins of your choice, such as chocolate chips or nuts, divided
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 180C (350F) and prepare an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper and a light butter coating.
- Gently melt butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Incorporate brown sugar into the melted butter, stirring until fully integrated and slightly glossy.
- Allow mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes, then vigorously whisk in egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes uniform and silky.
- Gradually fold flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined without overmixing.
- Carefully fold most of the chosen mix-ins into the batter, reserving a small portion for topping.
- Transfer batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula and sprinkling remaining mix-ins across the surface.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for a golden edge and slightly soft center – cooking time varies based on desired gooeyness.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
- Finish with a delicate sprinkle of flaky sea salt, then slice into squares and serve at room temperature.
Notes
- Customize mix-ins with chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for endless flavor variations.
- Achieve perfectly gooey blondies by slightly underbaking and checking doneness at 25 minutes.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, consistent batter and even baking.
- Opt for dark brown sugar for deeper caramel notes and richer taste profile.
