Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups of packed brown sugar to the cooled brown butter and stir until combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans into the batter gently.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and level out with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
