This is the best chewy vanilla brownie recipe ever! Also known as blondies, this sweet dessert is buttery, chewy, moist, and full of vanilla flavor. It’s our favorite brownie recipe of all time.
Prepare an 8×8 baking dish with butter or vegetable oil and parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
In a mixing bowl whisk together melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until the middle has risen, the sides or puffy and the tops are golden brown.
