Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup toasted walnut halves, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar, packed firmly
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk room temperature recommended
  • 1 cup unsalted melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅔ cup premium white chocolate chips

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is essential for achieving the perfect chewy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan
  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will help with easy removal after baking. Don’t forget to leave some overhang. It makes lifting out the brownies a breeze!
Step 3: Melt the Butter
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4: Mix the Sugars
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir well until everything is fully incorporated, and the mixture is shiny.
Step 5: Add Eggs and Vanilla
  1. Add the 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk to the sugar mixture. Pour in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract. Mix everything until the eggs are well incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
Step 6: Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, arrowroot powder, sea salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. Make sure they are well combined.
Step 7: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold gently until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough brownies.
Step 8: Add Remaining Ingredients
  1. Gently fold in the ⅔ cup of white chocolate chips and toasted walnuts. These will create delightful surprises in every bite.
Step 9: Bake the Blondies
  1. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean from the center.
Step 10: Cool and Cut
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the blondies out and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This ensures a smooth batter.
  • Don’t Overmix: This can make your blondies dense. Just mix until combined.
  • Customize Add-ins: Feel free to swap walnuts for pecans or almonds, or even add shredded coconut.
  • Add a Touch of Salt: A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking elevates the flavor.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Consider adding a dash of espresso powder or almond extract for a unique twist.
