Let’s make these delicious blonde brownies with a caramel drizzle!
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 55 minutes
- Yield: 24 brownies 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the blonde brownie batter (15 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.
- Bake the blonde brownies (25-30 minutes): Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Prepare the caramel drizzle (10 minutes): Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color. Add the butter and stir until melted and combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring, being careful as the mixture will bubble up. Continue to stir until the caramel is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the caramel cool slightly to thicken.
- Drizzle the caramel (5 minutes): Once the blondies are completely cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the blondies using a spoon or a small squeeze bottle.
- Cut and serve: Cut the blonde brownies into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For an added touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel drizzle for a salted caramel twist. These blonde brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerated for up to a week.
The combination of buttery blondies and rich caramel makes this dessert a hit at parties, gatherings, or just for a sweet treat at home. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful blonde brownies with caramel drizzle with your loved ones!
