Brown Butter Coconut Blondies: A Buttery, Chewy Coconut Dream

• Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

• Stir constantly as it melts, then foams, then begins to turn golden brown. You’ll see brown bits forming at the bottom—this is flavor gold.

• Once it smells nutty and fragrant, remove from heat immediately and let it cool for 10 minutes.

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter (including all the brown bits!) with the brown sugar.

• Whisk until smooth and slightly cooled.

• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

• Stir in the vanilla extract.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula—don’t overmix.

• Stir in 1 cup of the shredded coconut (and any add-ins like pecans or white chocolate chips).
