These brown butter salted toffee blondies have the best buttery-carmel-nutty-salty flavor, and a perfectly chewy texture. And the bonus is they're so easy to make!
Brown the butter; In a small saucepan set over low-medium heat, melt butter and then continue to cook until it turns a copper/brown and smells wonderful and nutty. Make sure you are continuing to stir while it's cooking down. It will melt, and then foam before it browns. Keep an eye on it because it will go from brown to burned fairly quickly. Once done, place in a bowl and into the fridge to cool and thicken up a bit.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line and spray and 8x8 baking dish with parchement paper.
Once butter has solidified again, add both sugars and mix on medium-high speed until combined. Don't be alarmed, it will have a gritty texture from the browned butter.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each. Add vanilla and mix.
Mix in dry ingredients until just combined, and then stir in the toffee bit by hand.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.Sprinkle with flaked salt after pulling out of the oven. Cool completely before cutting for a perfect square.
Notes
Feel free to omit the toffee bits, or add chocolate chips instead, or even nuts. I just love the way it tastes all caramely and salty. I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.These store so well in an airtight container for a few days, or in the freezer for a few months. Not that they'll last that long.
