Blondies are a delightful treat featuring a rich, buttery flavor with sweet white chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Blondie Batter
- 125 g unsalted butter 1 US stick
- 1 cup brown sugar light brown sugar also ok, but not dark brown
- 1 large egg (~50g/2 oz)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour (plain/all-purpose)
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt/kosher salt (halve for table salt)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes optional topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 20 cm/8" square pan with butter and line with baking paper.
- Toast walnuts by spreading them on a tray and roasting for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
- Brown the butter: Place the butter in a silver saucepan over medium high heat. Once melted, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring until it smells nutty with golden specks.
- In a bowl, combine the hot butter with sugar and mix. Leave to cool for 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the sugar-butter mixture, and mix until combined.
- Add flour and salt. Mix until thick, almost like roll-able cookie dough. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Baking
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spread and smooth the surface.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and surface has a crackly layer.
- Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting onto a cutting board.
- Cool for at least another 10 minutes, sprinkle with salt flakes if using, then cut into squares.
Notes
For best flavor, carefully brown the butter for a nutty taste. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze up to 2 months.
