Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (plant-based), browned
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Sugars
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 1 cup plant-based chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Begin by melting unsalted butter (plant-based) in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as it foams and then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly while preparing other ingredients.
- Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until smooth and fluffy.
- Combine Browned Butter and Vanilla Extract (natural): Pour the cooled browned butter into the sugar and egg mixture. Stir in vanilla extract (natural) until fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Stir in Plant-Based Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in plant-based chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour batter into a lined baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let blondies cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Brown butter carefully by watching closely and stirring frequently to avoid burning and to achieve the perfect nutty aroma.
- Measure flour precisely using the spoon and level method to maintain tender and moist blondies.
- Do not overmix the batter; combine dry and wet ingredients just enough to keep a chewy texture.
- Allow blondies to cool fully before cutting to ensure clean slices and better shape.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
