Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter browned (see note in instructions below)
  • 1/4 cup molasses mild flavored, not blackstrap
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar light brown sugar is fine too
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk egg whites removed
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 ounces white chocolate vanilla melting wafers optional to drizzle over the blondies

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Brown the Butter: Cut the butter up into tablespoon-sized cubes and melt over medium heat on the stove. As the butter melts, it will foam and then start to bubble. Stir or swirl the pan occasionally. You'll notice a nutty aroma as the milk solids in the butter turn golden brown. Once the butter reaches a warm golden-brown color, remove it from the heat to prevent burning. Transfer the browned butter to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients. Add the molasses, brown sugar, egg and egg yolk (minus the egg whites), sourdough discard, and vanilla extract. Whisk together.
  • Add the Dry Ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and incorporate all the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 22-25 minutes. The blondies are done when the edges begin to move away from the sides of the baking dish but the middle is still a bit undercooked and jiggly. Remove from the oven and let them come to room temperature.
  • Melt the White Chocolate Wafers: Microwave the white chocolate wafers in 15-second increments, whisking each time until the white chocolate is melted and smooth. Drizzle over the blondies. Cut into squares and serve!
