Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp espresso powder
1 cup toffee bits
1/2 tsp sea salt flakes (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly before combining with sugars in a large bowl. Mix until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in toffee bits and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick should come out clean but moist.
Allow blondies to cool before cutting into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
