Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Brown Butter Blondies
Fudgy, moist, ooey gooey Brown Butter Blondies with roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate chunks. These delicious blondies are made with pure white chocolate and have so much rich caramelized flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 oz 85g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 7 tablespoon 100g salted butter, browned (see instructions below and also above in the article)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup 110g packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup 50g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon 5ml pure vanilla extract
- heaped ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 142g all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 142g dark chocolate chunks
- ½ cup 70g chopped roasted hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang along each side.
- First brown the butter. Follow the instructions in this post here to learn how to brown butter. It’s easy!
- Immediately pour the browned butter into a clean bowl and let it cool for 2 minutes so it is not boiling hot, then add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Set it aside. It does not need to be completely cooled to use in the recipe.
- Make the blondie batter. Combine eggs with both sugars and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until pale and thick. It should double in volume. You can also use a hand mixer for this step. Mix in salt and then mix in the melted white chocolate mixture. Sprinkle in the flour and fold it in gently. Add dark chocolate chunks and chopped roasted hazelnuts and fold them in evenly.
- Spread batter evenly into your prepared pan. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chunks and hazelnuts over top and then bake for 23-26 minutes until the top is shiny, golden and crackly and the center is still soft. Do not over bake these. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let the blondies cool completely before slicing. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk!
