Brown Sugar Brownies
Print This Recipe
I wanted to bake, but when I went through my pantry, 
I realized I was completely out of granulated sugar (I know, for shame!). So, I searched online for an easy recipe using only brown sugar and since I was feeling lazy, I also wanted something that could be made in one bowl, and didn’t require scooping, frosting, or anything else that required much effort. (Maybe I should rename this blog baking for lazy people.)
And I found these. They are spectacularly easy, have a wonderful caramely flavor, and are nice and gooey. They most definitely did not disappoint. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 13″ x 9″ pan with no problem, and used chocolate chips instead of nuts. I think this may be one of my new favorite recipes.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 x 9 x 1-3/4 inch pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. - Stir in the flour mixture and the nuts until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool slightly. While still warm, cut into bars with a sharp knife.

Wow, those sound a lot like the Blondie recipe I make all the time and LOVE!!
The picture looks great!
It is literally like a chocolate chip cookie bar, but thicker. I prefer brown sugar to white any day of the week so I think is perfect 🙂
Yum! I’ve only made blondies once but I too love them. It’s good to have recipes like this that are easy to make and so tasty.
You have a nice blog…keep up the good job:)
I make something very similar called Congo Bars (I found it in David Lebovitz’s Book of Chocolate). They taste even better after sitting for a day or two, but they are hard to resist for that long. They are very easy to whip up when I need a dessert but don’t want the hassle.
I haven’t baked in a while but these look really good. I think I will try them!
I’m glad you mentioned the chocolate chips. I hate walnuts. We eat congo bars at our favorite vacation spot. I think I will make these tomorrow. I am making no-egg Key lime pie for my sister’s birthday and these might be a nice addition.
I just found your website yesterday, and LOVE it. Too cool!
I was looking specifically for a recipie for my excess brown sugar sittin’ on my shelf, and I used this recipie. Too easy to make. ‘Cept I used whole wheat flour and M&M’s in my mix cuz that’s what i hade sitting here. YUM!
However good and easy this redipie is, I found an instant family favorite and a request to “feel free to make more any time you wanna!”…
These look great -and the fact that their easy makes it likely I’ll try them in the near future.
These sound great. And I’m all for washing less dishes. LOL
Yumm these sound awesome! I’m going to have to make these right away:)
These look delicious! I’ve been on a serious bar cookie binge lately… and I’m going to be adding these to this list! 🙂
interesting recipe and they look really yummy 🙂
Made these on Thursday afternoon, put in dark chocolate and white chocolate chips. My hubbie took them to work the next day and came back with two left! He now keeps telling me to make them again! Great recipe.
