Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (125 grams / 4.4 ounces) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115 grams / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (150 grams / 5.3 ounces) brown sugar, packed
Chocolate and Nuts:
- ½ cup (90 grams / 3.2 ounces) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (30 grams / 1 ounce) chopped nuts (optional, for crunch)
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and preparing an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) pan with a parchment paper lining or a light butter coating.
- Create a smooth base by vigorously whisking melted butter with brown sugar until fully integrated, then incorporate the egg and vanilla extract with consistent stirring.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients by sifting flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Enhance the blondie profile by delicately folding white chocolate chips and optional nuts throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it uniformly and garnishing the surface with additional white chocolate chips for visual appeal and extra flavor.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn a rich golden brown and the center achieves a set consistency.
- Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool within the pan for a minimum of 15 minutes, which helps stabilize the structure and prevents crumbling.
- Once cooled, slice into neat squares, revealing the soft, decadent interior, and serve at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure smooth mixing and even distribution of ingredients.
- Use room temperature egg for better blending and consistent batter texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense blondies and maintain a tender crumb.
- Customize by swapping white chocolate chips with dark chocolate, dried fruit, or coconut flakes for variety.
- Line pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of blondies.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing to help blondies set and prevent crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
