How To Make No Bake Brown Butter Blondie Bars
Step 1: Prepare the Browned Butter
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning and pour into a large mixing bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- To the browned butter, whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
- Gradually mix in the crushed graham crackers and toasted flour until a thick dough forms. Fold in the white chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins.
Step 4: Assemble the Bars
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Press the blondie mixture evenly into the pan, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Once chilled, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or bars and serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Important Notes
Toasting Flour: Toasting the flour ensures it’s safe to eat. Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, then let cool before using.
Mix-In Ideas: Feel free to get creative! Add a handful of your favorite mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of caramel on top.
