Browned butter is the real secret here, whisked with brown sugar until it turns glossy and deeply caramelized before the eggs and vanilla go in for that classic ribbony batter. The result is a pan of blondies with crisp, chewy edges and a dense, fudgy center studded with pockets of melted chocolate. A finishing sprinkle of flaky sea salt plays against all that brown-sugar caramel flavor, cutting the sweetness in every bite. These bake up matte and set on top while staying soft and gooey underneath, exactly what you want from a good blondie. It's a straightforward, one-bowl treat that fits neatly into a gluten free dessert rotation, and it holds up beautifully whether you're serving a crowd or stashing squares in the freezer for later.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the foam subsides and the milk solids at the bottom turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Pour the browned butter into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
