    Did you try my sugar free chocolate chip blondie bars?

    You may be wondering what is the difference between brown butter and regular butter.

    Technically, brown butter is actually regular butter.
    However, the regular butter that is brown butter has been cooked in order to become brown.

    Here is what browning the butter does to regular butter.

    Thanks to the heat, butter separates into water (which evaporates), fat, and milk protein. The result is an amazing aroma, nutty flavor and brown color.

     

    Reading this recipe you may be asking what is the difference between a blondie and a brownie.

    In some ways, blondies and brownies are basically the same thing only one is light in color while the other is dark in color. Also, blondies and brownies are kind of flatter than cake yet, not quite cookies.

    Here is how blondies and brownies differ.

    Yes, some folks refer to blondies as 'blond brownies'.
    However, blondies are 'blond' because they do not have the unsweetened cocoa powder in them that brownies are known for.

    Here are some tips for making brownies.

    I mentioned that this recipe calls for brown butter that really has an effect on the flavor that makes blondies so good. It is important that you make the brown butter according the instructions given and avoid burning it.

    Here are some more helpful tips for you.

    1. Adding chopped nuts to these brownies is optional. However, these blondies would taste really good with some chopped macadamia nuts or perhaps walnuts stirred in.
    2. Allow the brown butter to cool before adding it to the bowl of ingredients. If the brown butter is allowed to stay warm it could melt the chocolate chips.
    3. This recipe calls for sugar free chocolate chips. However, you could try using sugar free white chocolate chips instead of or with the regular chocolate chips.

     

    How to make brown butter.

    Use a heavy sauce pan for best results set on medium heat. Cook until the butter starts to foam and turns a deep golden color with a nutty aroma approximately another 5 minutes after the butter is melted). Cool the butter to room temperature (very important so you donโ€™t melt the chocolate chips) before adding it to the bowl.
