What Are Blondies?
Blondies are just as delicious as brownies! They are similar to brownies texture-wise, but instead of mixing chocolate or cocoa powder into the batter, blondies are more brown sugar, butter and vanilla based, with a subtle butterscotch/caramel flavor.
Blondies are so easy to make and are practically no-fail. You only need a few pantry ingredients and one bowl to mix it all up in to bake up soft, chewy blondies!
Melted butter makes these coconut blondies rich and amazing. Just make sure to let your butter cool down to room temperature or slightly warm, or you’ll get greasy blondies. Using unsalted butter is best when making blondies. If you use salted, then omit the salt in the recipe.
Love brown butter? If you want to add even more toasty notes to these blondies, you can always brown your butter. People get really excited over browned butter in anything, so these Ultimate Brown Butter Blondies will definitely make you happy!
