Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 42 minutes
Servings 24 bars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour substitute all purpose flour for gluten-full bars
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cups melted brown butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup rainbow jimmies
  • 1/2 cup mini M&Ms

Instructions
 

  • Start by browning the butter. Melt it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently. The butter will foam as it begins to melt. Once the foam begins to disappear you’ll notice the milk solids settling on the bottom of the pan and beginning to brown. As the butter browns you’ll start to smell a nutty aroma. When the melted butter turns a light brown color quickly remove it from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. There’s a fine line between brown butter and burnt butter, so be careful. Let it rest for an hour or two (along with the eggs) until it comes to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter and then line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs using a whisk. Then whisk the eggs, brown butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the extracts.
  • Fold in the flour mixture using a spatula. Once incorporated, fold in the sprinkles and M&Ms. Press evenly into the lined pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Place the pan on a wire cooling rack and let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 bars. (Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan before you cut them.) Store in an airtight container.
