Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown butter (plant-based)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips (natural, optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, stirring regularly until it foams and turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine the brown butter with light brown sugar (natural), vegetable oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract (natural) in a bowl, whisking until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, ensuring even distribution of the leavening agent.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid over-mixing and tough blondies. Fold in optional chopped nuts or plant-based chocolate chips (natural) if desired.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into a lined baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye during butter browning as it quickly transitions from golden to burnt.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to keep blondies tender and chewy.
  • Start checking doneness at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the blondies.
  • Use fresh plant-based milk and natural extract for best flavor.
  • Cool the blondies fully to help them set and slice cleanly.
