Brown butter blondies with salted caramel M&M’s
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 125 grams butter I used salted
  • 225 grams muscovado sugar or any brown sugar
  • 1 large free-range egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 195 grams all purpose or cake flour 1 1/4 cups
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel M&M’s plus a few extras for the topping

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a small pot and allow it to bubble and turn golden brown. This will take a few minutes depending on the butter you use. You want the colour to turn a noticeable dark golden brown colour but be careful to not let it burn. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
  • Place the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl and use either a sturdy whisk or an electric hand mixer to mix until its well combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and briefly mix with the electric mixer or use a spatula. Fold in the salted caramel M&M’s
  • Decant the batter into the prepared tin and smooth it out. Press the extra M&M’s into the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the blondies are a golden brown colour and the edges start coming away from the sides. The middle could still be a little wobbly.
  • Allow to cool in the pan before removing the tray by pulling the baking paper out. Cut into 16 squares and serve asap.
