Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the toasted chopped pecans.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and crunch.
  • For an extra rich flavor, you can use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Ensure your butter is fully browned but not burnt for the best taste.
