½ cup + 2 tablespoon (125g)dark or light brown sugar
1teaspoonvanilla extract
2 tablespoon (30ml)milk
1¼ cups (150g)all-purpose flour
1tablespooncornstarch
¼teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonsalt
½ cup (90g)semi-sweet chocolate chips(plus more for toppings)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch square pan with nonstick oil spray or butter. Line it with parchment paper, keeping the parchment paper hanging over both sides. Set it aside.
Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add chocolate chips and mix gently.
Melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave. Transfer the melted butter to a medium bowl, and add sugar when it is still warm.
Whisk melted butter and sugar for about a minute until completely dissolved and smooth.
Add vanilla and milk, and stir well. If the mixture is still warm, allow it to cool down.
Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until well combined. The batter will be heavy and thick.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Top the batter with chocolate chips.
Bake the blondies in the oven for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on the cooling rack. Let it cool completely in the pan, then remove it and cut it into the desired square size.
Storing Suggestions
Allow the blondies to cool completely before storing them.
Eggless Chocolate Chip Blondies stay at room temperature, tightly covered, for three days.
The leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
You can also freeze the blondies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to a month.
Notes
Measuring Ingredients: To make the perfect blondies, correctly measure the flour and other ingredients. I suggest using a kitchen scale for the best results.
Butter: Instead of melted butter, you can use browned butter for this recipe to get distinct and pleasing flavors.
Brown Sugar: If you want, replace half of the brown sugar with white granulated sugar. I dislike adding too much sugar to my brownies and blondies. So, you will find my recipe calls for less sugar than other recipes. But, if you prefer more sugar, you can add 150g of sugar or more to your taste.
Chocolate Chips: Add semi-sweet or dark chocolate to these eggless chocolate chip blondies.
Do Not Overmix: Making the batter is easy and quick, so there is no way you should overmix it. The best practice is to use a spatula while mixing the dry ingredients with the wet ones and gently mix until no streak of flour remains.
Do Not Overbake: Overbaking may result in dry and crumbly blondies. So keep an eye on the oven after 18 minutes, as every oven is different. Remove the blondies from the oven when the middle is still soft. They will continue to bake as they cool, giving you blondies with perfectly soft and tender crumbs.
