Ingredients

Blondies

¾ cup butter
1 ½ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
11 ounce package caramel bits
Coarse sea salt, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

Blondies

In a medium sized saucepan, brown butter over medium heat. Stir constantly and cook until butter starts to turn a slight amber color.
Remove from heat and pour browned butter and all the brown bits into a large mixing bowl.
Add brown sugar into the bowl and stir until completely combined. Let cool slightly.
Next, add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Fold in flour, salt, and baking powder until fully combined.
Fold in caramel bits until fully incorporated.
Place batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top and edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and let cool.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully while browning to prevent burning.
Let the butter mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs.
Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Let the blondies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
