Ingredients
  

Blondie Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter for that rich, creamy flavor.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar brings incredible caramel notes.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar balances the sweetness and texture.
  • 2 large Eggs binds the ingredients and adds moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour provides the structure for the blondies.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder gives the blondies a slight lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt balances all the sweet flavors.
  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped adds crunch and nutty flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
  3. Stir in both sugars until fully combined.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  8. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  9. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
