  • Total Time: 39 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 12 Tablespoons Butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Sugars

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Caramel and Toppings

  • 5 ounces Caramel (about 2/3 cup plus more for topping after baking, if desired)
  • Sea Salt Flakes (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling the pan frequently. Once melted, continue cooking the butter for an additional two minutes to slightly brown it and develop a richer flavor.
  2. Add Sugars: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes glossy and the sugars are completely dissolved into the butter.
  3. Cool Mixture and Add Eggs: Let the butter and sugar mixture cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to speed the process. Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate fully.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan and Add Batter: Optional but recommended: line an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add Caramel Swirl: Drizzle the caramel evenly over the top of the batter. Using a knife or skewer, swirl the caramel through the batter gently to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the top is shiny with slight cracks. The edges should be set while the center remains soft.
  8. Cool and Finish: Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing into bars. If desired, drizzle additional caramel over the top and sprinkle with sea salt flakes for that signature salted caramel finish.

Notes

  • For easier removal, lining the baking pan with parchment paper is highly recommended.
  • Do not overbake; blondies should remain moist and chewy.
  • Adjust the amount of sea salt flakes to taste for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
  • Letting the batter cool before adding eggs prevents scrambling and ensures a smooth texture.
  • Use high-quality caramel for the best flavor impact.
