Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Unsalted Butter: Always choose unsalted butter to control the saltiness; brown it until it smells nutty and turns golden.
- Brown Sugar: Light or dark works; dark gives a deeper flavor that pairs perfectly with the buttery notes.
- Granulated Sugar: A bit of granulated sugar balances the richness from brown sugar and contributes to a chewy texture. For more inspiration, check out this thick and chewy cookies recipe.
- Eggs: Use large eggs for better binding; they add moisture and richness to the batter.
- All-Purpose Flour: This is your base; sift it for lighter blondies if you want them extra fluffy!
- Baking Powder: Essential for that perfect rise; don’t skip this ingredient unless you want sad, flat blondies.
- Vanilla Extract: Go for pure vanilla extract if possible; it elevates the flavor profile significantly.
- Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet or dark chips work best; they melt beautifully into each bite.

Let’s Make it together
Brown That Butter: Start by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it turns golden brown and smells divine—this should take about 5 minutes.
Mix Sugars Together: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and glossy; this will take about 1-2 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until everything is well combined, creating a luscious mixture.
Sift Dry Ingredients In: In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually incorporate this dry mix into your wet ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix!
Fold In Chocolate Chips: Gently fold chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula. This ensures they are evenly distributed without deflating your batter.
Bake Your Blondies: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan (roughly 9×9 inches) and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Now all that’s left is to let them cool (if you can resist) before slicing into squares that are as soft as clouds! Enjoy these Brown Butter Fall Treats Blondies with family and friends—or keep them all to yourself (no judgment here!).
