Ingredients
  

For the Blondies:
  • 2-1/2 sticks unsalted butter (to create that delectable brown butter)
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter
    Start by melting the 2-1/2 sticks of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Keep an eye on it as it melts, stirring frequently. The butter will begin to foam, and then it will turn a golden brown color and develop a nutty aroma. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2-1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt. This mixture will provide the structure for your blondies.
  3. Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, combine the browned butter, 2 cups of light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Whisk until well combined. Next, add in the 3 large eggs and 2-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, using a rubber spatula to fold them together. Be careful not to overmix; you want just enough to combine them.
  5. Step 5: Add Walnuts and Toffee Bits
    Gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 cup of toffee bits. This will add a delightful crunch and sweetness to your blondies.
  6. Step 6: Prepare the Baking Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  7. Step 7: Bake the Blondies
    Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Slice
    Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Prep the batter a day in advance and refrigerate it.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
