In reply to Summer. Hi Summer! I would use the pancake syrup. :)

Can you use honey in place of maple syrup or is pancake syrup a better substitution? I do not have maple syrup on hand :/

Okay, I am just starting to make it, but I have to say, I love that you mentioned measurements in the instructions as well. Scrolling up and down your phone with flour in your hands is not fun. I feel like half the baking time gets spent scrolling through the page otherwise. So thank you, I really appreciate that I can just look at the instructions without having to scroll. 🙂

In reply to Sam. Hi Sam-I increased the recipe by 50% and used a 9 x 13 pan. It was glass. Something simple like that can change it by so much I guess!

In reply to Colleen. Hi Colleen! Wow that's a long time, did you use a glass pan by chance? I'm glad you still enjoyed them!

The taste of these are pretty amazing. The one problem for me is the batter was so thick I cooked it for 13 extra minutes and even still should’ve cooked it longer.

In reply to Isabel. Did you add the chocolate chips to the batter or on top with the crumble? Thank you.

In reply to Patricia Gibson. We are so happy you like them so much, Patricia! Brown butter is the best secret ingredient

In reply to Patti.

I made these last week and I made another batch today. I luv the taste from the brown butter. My new favorite blondie recipe. So chewy and delicious. Thanks Samantha.

In reply to Patti. Hi Patti! They will probably be a little bit thicker if the recipe is doubled, but that should work just fine. Your bake time will be a bit longer. :)

Could I double this recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan?

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! You may need to reduce the bake time by a couple of minutes but that's it. Enjoy! :)

These sound amazing, but my husband is allergic to nuts. Would it hurt anything to just leave off the crumble?

In reply to Dan. Hi Dan! I'm not sure how the Amarula will work, but they honey should be ok. You can store them in an air tight container at room temperature after they have finished baking. :)

Dan — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 17:19:48 +0000

I’m gonna try this recipe tomorrow! We don’t have maple syrup in Argentina, but I think I’m gonna try with Amarula instead! Or should I go with honey?
Another question: should I store it in the fridge once it’s done?
Thanks in advance! Your carrot cake recipe is the best one I found, nothing tops that.

In reply to Sydney. Hi Sydney! Sounds like an oven temperature issue. Did you bake them on the center rack? Is your oven temperature accurate? The edges shouldn't be burning before the center is done. I hope this helps. :)

By: Sydney

Sydney — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 04:16:46 +0000

I followed the recipe exactly, but after even 50 minutes of baking, it was still totally unbaked in the middle, but the edges were crisp. Any thoughts on what I could’ve done wrong!!! Smelled amazing though.

Awesome recipe! I used powdered sugar in place of regular sugar and replaced the maple syrup with butterscotch schnapps… absolutely Devine! I make my chocolate chip cookies with powdered sugar instead of regular cane sugar as well… I like the texture of the cookies better when made with powdered sugar. I thought I would see if these blondies would have the same soft chewy texture. When using the schnapps, I browned my butter and then added the schnapps to cook out the alcohol … once I had done that, I mixed in the brown sugar while the butter and schnapps was still a little warm so that the brown sugar would be silky and smooth… after letting it cool a little, I finished mixing in the rest of the ingredients. These blondies were delicious and disappeared super fast! I think I will call these, Browned Butter Scottie Bars!

These are the best blondies I’ve ever had. I’m going to make them this afternoon with chocolate chips and a pecan crumble instead of walnut. Thnak you for creating the most wonderful recipes!

In reply to Jane. Hi, Jane! Both are delicious in my opinion. The brown butter gives a rich toffee-like taste compared to the best blondie. I would say that the best blondie recipe has been more popular, but you can't go wrong with either one. I hope that helps. Keep me posted on which one you try and how it turns out. :)

How do these compare to your “best blondies ever!” recipe? I’m deciding which to make!
