Brown Butter M&M Blondies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter (brown it)
• 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup m&ms (+ more for topping)
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips/chopped chocolate

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until it foams then turns a golden brown color.
2. It should have a nutty aroma with little brown bits.
3. Transfer to a heat safe bowl (make sure to get all those little brown bits in there!)
4. Cool for about 10 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 325°F and line/grease an 8x8 pan.
6. Mix the slightly cooled brown butter and both sugars together.
7. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
8. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
9. Fold in the m&ms and chocolate chips. Do not over mix.
10. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and sprinkle m&ms on top.
11. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with a few moist crumbs.
12. Top with a few more m&ms if some sank.
13. Let it cool for cleaner cuts.
