Have you ever tried baking with browned butter? At first I believed it was a useless, time-sucking step but quickly changed my mind after making these blondies! While mixing the batter, it smelled caramelized and absolutely delicious! These blondies are slightly salty, slightly caramelized (thanks to the browned butter and brown sugar), they have a nice shiny top, and taste irresistibly delicious. Browning butter can be a little intimidating but if you are confused at all, there are many great YouTube tutorials out there. Browned butter adds an extra depth of flavor to a simple blondie recipe. These blondies are actually very simple to make and I highly recommend trying them!

Browned Butter Blondies (gluten and nut free)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (225 grams) light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsps vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ⅔ cups (225 grams) gluten-free flour blend I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour
- 1 ⅓ cups (248 grams) semisweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently till browned. It will get bubbly and might take a while, but be patient and don't leave the stove–the butter browns very suddenly. Pour the browned butter into a large heat-proof bowl (making sure to scrape every last browned bit), add the salt and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- Add the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the slightly cooled browned butter and whisk well until smooth. Add the baking soda and GF flour and mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake the batter for 22-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out semi clean (the more doughy the toothpick comes out, the more gooey and delicious the blondies will be). Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
