Brownie Blondies are made with flour, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Also known as blondies, this easy dessert recipe is versatile and perfect for any occasion!
Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8 x 8 pan with non-stick cooking spray. I suggest cutting a strip of parchment paper and laying it inside the pan/dish as well, leaving several inches of overlap so you can use as handles later to lift the brownies out of the pan after they've cooled. This helps with easy removal of the cooked blondies from the pan. Be sure to spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray as well if you choose to use it.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl for about 30 seconds. Blend in the brown sugar and egg. A whisk works well for the blending. No need for an electric mixer unless you just want to use one...but don't overmix. Blend just enough for the ingredients to mix well.
Add flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Mix well.
Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
Spread into prepared pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before slicing into squares. If you used the parchment paper, gently lift the entire brownie out of the pan using the sides of the parchment paper as handles.
Notes
Store baked brownie blondies in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days.
