Brown butter milk chocolate blondies are where it’s at, folks.
In our house, it’s no secret that I’m the sweets lover (if you’ve spent any time on this blog, you’ll likely have guessed this already). Rare are the days when I bake something that my boyfriend wants to taste, let alone eat an entire portion of. That’s how I know that these brown butter milk chocolate blondies are the next level. Within a day of baking them, most of the pan had already disappeared and for once I was not the culprit. While there is a little bit more work to this recipe than a regular chocolate chip blondie, I promise they’re are worth it.
Browning the butter adds a delicious nutty flavour to the recipe that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. This is why I insist that it’s a step you don’t want to skip. I realize that this means adding an additional 30 minutes to the recipe in order to allow the butter to cool. I get it, “who has time for that”. But seriously – trust me: you want to brown the butter. (The 30 minute wait is also a prime time to enjoy a glass of wine – just sain’).
Another thing I recommend not skipping out on are the sea salt flakes. The combination of the sweet milk chocolate with the salty flakes are the stuff dreams are freakin’ made of. You may also notice that I use salted butter in this recipe. This isn’t an accident, so stick to the salted butter for this one amigos.
Honestly these brown butter milk chocolate blondies are sweet and salty perfection. They also take minimal effort to make, which I love (with three kids, an easy dessert is always a win in my book).
