Create some coziness in your kitchen this winter with these Brown Butter Chai Blondies. The nutty aroma of the brown butter complements the warm taste of the chai spices. This recipe is easy to make and has an impactful flavor everyone will love!
Frequently Asked Questions
Start with 14 tablespoons of butter before browning. The browning process will evaporate some of the water in the butter, reducing the total amount to 12 tablespoons (or 3/4 cup).
As soon as the butter has a nutty aroma and you see brown specks, take the pan off the heat and immediately transfer melted butter to a bowl to start cooling. If it stays in the hot pan, it’s at risk of burning.
Check that your spices are fresh and not expired! This will guarantee strong chai flavor.

Ingredients
Blondies
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
- 1/4 cup white vanilla baking chips
Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
-
Step2Place butter pieces in a light-colored saucepan. Heat over medium heat and stir constantly with a rubber spatula so butter melts evenly and doesn’t burn. The butter will start to foam up, then brown. Remove it from the heat and immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cool slightly.
-
Step3In large bowl, beat browned butter and remaining Blondies ingredients with an electric mixer until well blended. Spread in pan.
-
Step4Bake 24 to 28 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
-
Step5In small microwavable bowl, microwave chips uncovered on 50% power level 60 to 90 seconds or until chips can be stirred smooth. Drizzle with fork over top. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature.
