Gluten-free Blondies

½ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks

⅔ cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour

⅓ cup coconut flour

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup chopped pecans

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 large egg, room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or lightly grease an 8-inch-square glass baking dish.

In medium saucepan, cook unsalted butter over medium heat until browned and fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Pour butter into heat proof dish to cool at room temperature.

In medium bowl, whisk flours, salt, baking powder and pecans. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl beat cooled browned butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla on low speed until combined. Scrape bowl well. Increase speed to high and beat 1 minute until light and smooth. Scrape bowl again.

Add flour mixture and stir by hand just until combined. Do not over mix. Spread batter evenly in baking dish and gently smooth top with spatula. Bake 25-30 minutes until aromatic, puffy and golden brown. Cool completely at room temperature before serving.

Serves 12.

Baker's hint: If using salted butter, reduce salt in recipe to ¼ teaspoon.
