Brown Butter Cinnamon Pecan Blondies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 16
Rich and chewy brown butter pecan blondies with cinnamon and cinnamon and white chocolate. A dessert that is made for those perfect fall days.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, 8 tbsp or one stick
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Make the browned butter: cut the butter into cubes and place them into a small skillet on medium heat. Melt the butter, whisking it frequently. The butter will begin to bubble and crackle. The bubbles will eventually start to foam, and this point, keep an eye out for brown specks and a very nutty aroma. As soon as you start seeing the butter turn brown, remove the pan from the heat, give it a final few stirs, and pour the butter into a heat-proof bowl to cool.
  • Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Leave a 2" parchment paper overhang on the sides to help lift the blondies out of the pan once they're cooled.
  • Mix dry ingredients: While the butter is cooling, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Prepare the batter: Once your butter has cooled down to just warm to the touch, whisk in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy (approximately 1 minute if you're using a stand mixer). Then fold in the dry ingredients until they are just fully incorporated. Do not over-mix the batter. Lastly, add the chopped pecans and white chocolate and fold them in until fully incorporated.
  • Bake: Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer. Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp and middle is set. Once they're done, remove pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Leave the blondies in the pan until they're cooled completely! After that, use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 equal sized pieces. Enjoy!
