These blondies combine the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter with sweet and salty ribbons of caramel for a chewy, soft, and irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup salted caramel sauce, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter (about 5-7 minutes): Melt 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until golden brown with brown flecks and nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix sugars and eggs (about 5 minutes): Stir 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated sugar into the browned butter until smooth. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients (2-3 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Bring it all together (3-4 minutes): Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Prepare the pan and layer (2 minutes): Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour half the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
  6. Add salted caramel ribbons (1-2 minutes): Spoon about ½ cup salted caramel sauce over the batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  7. Top with remaining batter and swirl again (1-2 minutes): Pour remaining batter on top, smooth out, add remaining caramel in spoonfuls, and swirl lightly.
  8. Bake (25-30 minutes): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and slice (at least 30 minutes): Let blondies cool completely in pan on wire rack. Use parchment overhang to lift out and slice into squares.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning. Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies tender and chewy. Warm caramel if too thick before swirling. Cool completely before slicing; refrigerate for 30 minutes if possible for best texture. Optional add-ins include chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
