Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup margarine or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the margarine or butter over low heat and then remove from heat to cool slightly.
- Add Sugar and Mix: Stir in the packed light brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Vanilla and Eggs: Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to achieve a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture; stir until the batter is fully incorporated without overmixing.
- Prepare Pan and Spread Batter: Grease a 9x13x2 inch baking pan and spread the blondie batter evenly in the pan.
- Top with Chocolate and Walnuts: Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly over the surface of the batter.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 squares and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can toast the walnuts lightly before mixing them in or sprinkling on top.
- Do not overbake to maintain the chewy texture; start checking for doneness at 28 minutes.
- Substitute margarine or butter with vegan butter to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Storing blondies in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- You can swap walnuts for pecans or omit nuts entirely if desired.
