Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a parchment sling and lightly mist the sides.
- Melt the butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat, stirring as it foams. After 4 to 6 minutes, it will turn golden with toasty brown bits on the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Whisk the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the warm butter until glossy. Add the egg and vanilla, whisk for 45 to 60 seconds to dissolve the sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Baking
- Spread the batter into the lined pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 16 to 22 minutes or until the edges look set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Let the blondies rest in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Lift them out using the parchment, then cool for another 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
These blondies can be customized with different mix-ins like nuts or caramel. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without much hassle.
