Blondie Brownies
Anybody else in need of a little sweet treat to brighten things up these days?! We’re right there with you so that’s why I am sharing our family’s favorite blondie brownie recipe.
These brownies are such a cozy treat and they pair very well with a hot cup of soothing tea or for a slightly more indulgent snack, some hot chocolate! It’s truly comfort food for the soul.
This recipe is super simple and easily adaptable. If you’re not a fan of pecans, feel free to switch those out for any other nut… or dare we suggest chocolate chips!

- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (add a little extra for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
