Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly whisked
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla essence
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup finely sifted plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts
  • 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows the blondies to bake evenly and achieve that perfect texture.
Step 2: Prepare Your Pan
  1. Grab an 8x8-inch baking dish. Line it with parchment paper; this will help you remove the blondies effortlessly after baking. Make sure to leave some overhang for easy lifting.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and dark brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Then, add the lightly whisked egg and vanilla essence. Stir in the heavy cream until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sea salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. This step ensures that your dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Watch out for over mixing; we want the blondies to stay chewy.
Step 6: Add the Extra Goodies
  1. Now it's time for the fun part! Fold in the chopped walnuts, if you’re using them, and the bittersweet chocolate chips. This will add texture and flavor to your blondies.
Step 7: Bake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. The blondies should be golden brown around the edges while remaining slightly gooey in the center. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Step 8: Cool and Cut
  1. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool in the pan. After about 10 minutes, lift them using the parchment overhang and cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Check Freshness of Ingredients: Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are not expired. Freshness makes a significant difference.
  • Sift Your Flour: Sifting removes lumps and ensures even distribution in your batter.
  • Don’t Overbake: These brownies continue to cook a little after you take them out, so a few moist crumbs should cling to your toothpick when checking for doneness.
  • Storage: Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. They make fantastic snacks that last for days.
  • Chill for Enhanced Flavor: If you can wait, try chilling them in the fridge for a few hours once baked. The flavors meld beautifully!
