Ingredients
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped* 4 tablespoons butter3/4 cup light brown sugar1/8 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring1 egg, beaten1/2 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder* You can reserve a few pieces of nuts for the top of each muffin, if desired.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Coat the wells a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or use with paper liners.
Place the walnuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast until just fragrant (about two minutes), then remove from the pan and set aside. Do not wipe out the pan, but add the butter and increase heat to medium. Melt the butter and allow it to cook until it is lightly browned, about two to three minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
Stir together the sugar and browned butter in a medium mixing bowl, then add the salt, vanilla, and the egg to the mixture and stir again.
Stir in the flour and baking powder, then the nuts. Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter into each well. Place the muffin tin on top of a baking sheet.
Bake 12-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. If using muffin liners flip the pan upside down and tap to remove the blondies. If not using liners, run a small knife around the edges of the cups to release from the pan.

Cool completely before storing. Freeze for up to one month.

Makes 16 blondie cups, one per serving.

    I used Splenda Brown Sugar and Egg Beaters, but left everything else the same and loved them. Thank You. - 8/10/13

    I just made this using slivered almonds and a few pinches of flax seed....so good. I dont like walnuts or pecans so I decided to try with a different nut - 8/10/13

    I didn't read the comments first before I decided to make a quadruple batch for a potluck today. Now I've got 2 dozen deflated muffin. I was just trusting the recipe was right! Haha... I think there is something wrong with the flour measurement. Wish I knew more so I could fix it! Tasty, though! - 8/30/13

    I tried making these this morning and used cashews instead of walnuts/pecans and added some white chocolate chips as the recipe suggested. They did not turn out AT ALL. They puffed up all over my mini muffin pan and turned into one giant gooey mess! Is the flour measurement correct at 1/2 cup??? - 8/10/13

    Make these for your Mother-In-Law: Fabulous & easy! We subbed White-Whole-Wheat-Flour & Coconut Palm Sugar. Added 1/4 C MINI semisweet choco chips. CPS subs equally for ANY sugar, tastes like brown sugar, has LOWER glycemic index. Next time may add coconut. Recipe great as is. Crusty outside. YUM! - 8/11/13

    I have my baker's assistant certificate & am known around the community for my fabulous desserts, but I agree with some of the comments......there MUST be something with the flour, which seems like a small amount. I even undercooked them & had to practically use a chisel to get them out of the pan. - 5/17/14

    Horrible recipe! They rose over the rim of the muffin pan, then sunk in the middle. Now I can use them for dessert cups and fill them with ice cream, if they weren`t so sticky and a mess! Something just isn`t right with this recipe! - 8/12/13

    Tasted great but overran cups and sunk in the middle. Will try to make smaller making 24 instead of 16 and maybe increase baking powder a little. My husband said to just bake on cookie sheet like cookies. - 8/12/13
  • JULIJULINN
    1/2 c flour for 16 brownies? But the nutritional breakdown says 1/4 c flour PER brownie? Something is very wrong. should be 4 CUPS flour for the entire recipe. - 8/13/16

    Mine came out the same as some others - poofy around the edges, but completely sank in the middle. Ooey gooey insides yet stuck to the pan. GREAT flavor, but something's really wrong in the recipe. Going to fiddle with it & see if it can be fixed. - 10/15/14

    I used Splenda brown sugar, chopped almonds, lemon zest and lemon extract. They are really good, but I give them to my family, it's too easy to eat more than one! - 8/10/14

    I think that should read 11/2 cup flour not a 1/2 cup. - 8/21/19
