Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter for that nutty brown butter flavor.
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar packed, for sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 Large egg at room temperature to ensure even mixing.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour be sure not to pack your flour for the right texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon for a warm spice note.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt to enhance all the flavors.
  • 3/4 cup Toffee bits for a sweet, crunchy addition.
  • 1/2 cup Espresso beans chopped, to infuse that rich coffee flavor.
  • 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chopped into chunks for melty goodness.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it constantly until it turns a beautiful golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to let it burn!
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with the packed light brown sugar. Use a whisk to mix until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the large egg and whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  5. Gently fold in the toffee bits, chopped espresso beans, and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. This is where the magic happens—every bite will be bursting with flavor!
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • You can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Store your blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • To freeze, wrap the blondies tightly to prevent freezer burn.
