Brown Sugar Brownies (Blondies)

SaraFish, well you have outdone yourself! These cookies were so easy to make...but, best of all, they were hands-down the absolute BEST tasting blondies I've ever tasted. I have made several versions of the brown sugar brownies in the past, and most of the directions are rather intricate... They can't touch this! I made these for the first time last night. I'll be making them again. Today! Just as soon as I make a trip to the supermarket for more brown sugar....... Thanks for sharing a gem of a recipe!

Absolutely SINFUL! Shame on your for introducing me to these!!! I had 5 of them....FIVE and I wanted a thousand more of them! I wont be losing any weight this week!!! LOL I didnt add in any nuts, or anything else for that matter. I used butter and made enough for a 9x13-inch dish. THe measurements were 3/4 cup margarine, 1 1/2 tbs milk, 1 1/2 c brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 c flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/3 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 tbs vanilla. THanks for a wonderful (and sinful) dessert!!!

This are a great fast snack to go with tea. I can't eat nuts, but topped with mini m&m's, they are delicious!

These are too good. I followed the recipe exactly. Baked them for 28 minutes and they were slightly under done which resulted in a chewy brownie like cookie instead of cake like, as others were saying. I added chocolate chips as my stir in. Can't. Stop. Eating. Them!

Pretty Good. Definitely cakey brownie. I bet after a night in the fridge and they will be more brownie than cake. I added peanut butter in half the batter and chocolate chips to the rest. Wish I had put nuts in them but I didn't have any. I will make them again but I think chocolate brownies still top all all others.

I made this with only 2/3 cup brown sugar, then added 1 cup walnut pieces and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Very good, with a cake-like texture, I will make it again.

Just what I was looking for! I made them exactly as printed (well I doubled the recipe) but I didn't add nut. Sooooo yummy!!! We ate them warm with a BIG scoop of French vanilla ice cream and warm caramel sauce! MMM-good!

These are absolutely scrumptious! I made exactly as written, except I didn't have any nuts, and there were no complications. Mine were done at 30 minutes. I bet these would be so yummy served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. We will be making these often as they are simple, use basic ingredients, and loved by all.

These are great. A tasty quick and easy treat to throw together with ingredients I always have on hand. I think next time I'll add white chocolate chips and some nuts to see how that goes.

This was a cake-like treat. I added a minced apple and about 3/4 cup chopped walnuts. Should have added some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. There's a tablespoon of vanilla in this - which I thought at first was a misprint - but it's not overpowering once finished. This is a good starting point for some other ideas -- like the one for peanut butter...I'll try that next! Thanks, Sara, for sharing!

I've never had any blondies as good as these! We had a lot of butter to use up so I made a double batch. Delicious! They came out SO moist, just like a chocolate-less brownie! I couldn't resist adding chocolate chips, which were a great touch, but I could see using peanut butter or butterscotch chips, too. Thank you for an easy, yummy recipe!

These were okay, but they seemed to taste more like cake than brownies, which is pretty disappointing when you're craving non-chocolate brownies. UPDATE: I tried these the day after I made them, and they were a little bit better and more brownie-like but still not exactly what I'm looking for.

Um, SaraFish, I love you! These are amazing. Even after subbing whole wheat flour they were so good. I made them as cupcakes and melted a little butter on them. OMG.

Yum!! I'm on a mission to find a brownie closest to one I used to make all the time when I was a kid. This one is pretty close! (My recipe was called a butterscotch brownie.) I added a little maple syrup instead to try to make it closer to the one I was imitating. They are so nice and soft and so easy to make. But definitely don't underbake and let them cool before cutting them, as the recipe says. Think soft and cakey, not chewy-gooey.

I made these today for a friend and I as well as my son. We all enjoyed them. VERY easy to make! Thanks again! I think maple extract would go great in this!

Wow, made my second batch last night, and my picky nieces licked the batter, ate piece after piece, and requested them for their lunch snacks. Took the first batch to the beauty salon for my hair dresser's b-day, and they were a hit. I also doubled the ingredients for a larger batch, added egg substitute, a brown sugar splenda/regular brown sugar combo, and used "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" bars for the second batch; they came out just as delicious! this is going into my recipe box as one of my faves; thanks so very much for sharing it.

I made these last night and they are delicious. I am such a beast, I hoarded them and now they're almost gone. I followed the recipe exactly and put toffee chips in them. Really great flavor and they look nice and golden too. I might make these for my boss since he is a weirdo and doesn't like chocolate. Thanks for the great recipe.

These are really tastey! I used 1/4 cup butter instead of the 1/2 cup margarine, and I didn't melt it. I also used an 8" x 8" glass pan. It left the batter a little thick, but didn't affect the outcome. I didn't add any mix-ins, but wished I had after the fact. Some nuts would have added to the texture. Overall a great recipe.

I used butter instead of margarine, and I only used a quarter cup (half stick) of butter. These blondies were delicious! My husband rarely eats any kind of baked goods, but he loved these.
