Blondies (Gluten-Free)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free flour (see Notes)
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a 8”x8″ glass baking dish with foil, pressing firmly into pan and leaving a 2″ overhang. Coat foil with nonstick spray; set dish aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Keep cooking, stirring occasionally, until butter becomes toasty and browned at the bottom. It should smell a bit nutty. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.
- Pour butter into a large bowl and whisk in sugar until smooth. The mixture should be cooled to lukewarm, but if it’s not, let it rest for a few minutes until it is.
- Whisk in egg, vanilla and sea salt.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour.
- Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth with spatula; the batter is thick.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned at edges but looks a tiny bit underbaked.
- Transfer blondies to cooling rack and Let cool in pan to room temperature.
- Slide blondies onto cutting board from aluminum foil.
- Cut into 16 or more squares.
- Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days or wrap tightly and freeze.
