Description
A delightful treat that combines rich and chewy blondies with a nutty flavor from brown butter and the moistness of zucchini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix well. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts if using. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
