The M&M used in the recipe can be substituted with milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or anything else that catches your fancy. Pin M&M Brown Butter Blondies Recipe Adapted from The Recipe Girl Makes 12 large squares Ingredients: 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp butter (total of 10 tbsp) 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 tbsp regular white sugar 1 egg 2 tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup desiccated coconut (fresh won’t work) 3/4 cup M&Ms + few more to lay on top How I Made It:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease a cake pan or brownie pan.
  2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and begins to smell nutty (watch it closely so it doesn’t burn – takes about 5-7 mins). Let the butter cool for a few minutes, until just barely warm.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars. With a wooden spoon, stir in egg, vanilla and salt. Stir in flour, coconut and M&Ms until batter is blended.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a few additional M&Ms on top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Let the blondies cool before turning them out onto a cutting board and slicing into squares (chilling them will make that process even easier). Pin The brown butter gives the blondies a lovely flavour. The coconut gives a nice crunch too. I lowered the quantity of coconut a lot in my version, it really is enough without being overpowering.
