Brown Butter Blondies

You could add brown butter to dirty dishwater and I would drink it. Add brown butter to blondies and you have a little slice of heaven. These Brown Butter Blondies are so simple, you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry right now, and they are absolutely incredible. Simple and tasty, there is nothing better!

If you have never browned butter before, don’t worry, it is extremely easy. You’re going to melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. The butter will start to get foamy and orangy brown bits will form at the bottom of the pan. This means the butter is ready. It will take about 5 minutes, so make sure you don’t walk away from the pan.

This was my first time making blondies, so I used this recipe is from Food52!
