Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 box brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Mix butter, brown sugar, and eggs together.
  2. Add self-rising flour and vanilla to the mixture.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch pan.
  4. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 1 hour.
  5. Optional: Add 1 cup coconut, 3 cups chocolate chips, or 1 cup nuts before baking.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Experiment with mix-ins like coconut or nuts for added flavor. This Blond Brownies recipe is a delightful twist reminiscent of Butterscotch Bubble Bread.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the blond brownies into squares and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve alongside a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast, making it a delightful option after dishes like Favorite Rice Casserole.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover blond brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm individual pieces in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or enjoy them at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar with light brown sugar or even granulated sugar, but this will alter the flavor slightly. Brown sugar provides a rich, caramel-like taste that is characteristic of blond brownies.

Can I freeze blond brownies?

Absolutely! To freeze, wrap the cooled brownies tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What can I serve with blond brownies?

Blond brownies are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Consider serving them with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra treat, or alongside a fresh fruit salad for a balanced dessert.
