Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yields: 16 slices
Ingredients
- 1 ½ sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups (300 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups (191 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups (281 grams) mix-ins of your choice, such as chocolate chips or nuts, divided
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch metal pan with foil or parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter in 30-second increments until melted. Add the sugar to the hot butter and whisk to combine. Let cool until just warm.
-
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until smooth. Stir in the salt, baking powder, and flour with a rubber spatula. Gently stir in 1 ½ cups (255 grams) mix-ins.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Top evenly with remaining mix-ins.
-
For an ooey-gooey center, bake until the edges are lightly golden but the center still jiggles slightly, about 25 minutes. For a firmer center, bake until the edges are golden brown and the center is lightly golden and set, 30-35 minutes. Set pan on wire rack and allow to cool before cutting. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Recipe Notes
*If the bottoms of your baked blondies are slightly greasy after removing them from the pan, place them on a wire rack overnight covered in plastic wrap. This overnight sit will allow them to set completely.
