I have posted a recipe for butterscotch blondies before. They are super simple and usually a welcome change from chocolate brownies.
The M&M used in the recipe can be substituted with milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or anything else that catches your fancy.
M&M Brown Butter Blondies Recipe
Adapted from The Recipe Girl
Makes 12 large squares
Ingredients:
½ cup + 2 tablespoon butter (total of 10 tbsp)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoon regular white sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup desiccated coconut (fresh won't work)
¾ cup M&Ms + few more to lay on top
How I Made It:
1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease a cake pan or brownie pan.
2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and begins to smell nutty (watch it closely so it doesn’t burn - takes about 5-7 mins). Let the butter cool for a few minutes, until just barely warm.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars. With a wooden spoon, stir in egg, vanilla and salt. Stir in flour, coconut and M&Ms until batter is blended.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a few additional M&Ms on top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Let the blondies cool before turning them out onto a cutting board and slicing into squares (chilling them will make that process even easier).
The brown butter gives the blondies a lovely flavour. The coconut gives a nice crunch too. I lowered the quantity of coconut a lot in my version, it really is enough without being overpowering.

Not at all. These are samoa blondies actually, so they come with coconut. You can safely skip it, maybe add some oats for texture. or just leave it plain 🙂

Can I skip the coconut ? Or is it essential in Blondies?
