The last time I made blondies I made the mistake of trying one of "healthy" recipes. It was a peanut butter chick pea blend where the peanut butter was supposed to be flavor. They were horrible, one of the few things I've ever tossed out as inedible due to their weird flavor and nasty texture. Fortunately, Alton's blondies are a different matter.

I first fell in love with browned butter thanks to
Smitten Kitchen and highly recommend it to anyone looking for easy ways to kick something up to the next level. So I was intrigued when I saw that he starts his blondies by toasting the nuts in browned butter (this smells amazing by the way). I will totally use this trick again if I'm making anything that calls for both nuts and browned butter.
Do not make these if you're trying to limit your sugar intake, I think this is most brown sugar I've ever used in a non-toffee recipe. Do try the serving suggestion with a nice cold glass of almond milk, it's lovely.

Will It Get Made Again? Yes, these a good non-chocolate bar and have been loved by everyone I've fed them to.
