Basic Blondies

I wanted to bring a treat into work for my colleagues.  Being short on time and money, I was looking for something that I could whip up using stuff I already had in my pantry.  These little goodies were on the Whipped blog.  Super simple and easy and super yummy, according to my work peeps.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Liberally spritz an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick buttery spray.
• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Stir brown sugar into butter.
• Whisk in the egg and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake until they are just set in the center, about 25-30 minutes.
• Let cool completely. Turn out onto cutting board and cut into slices.
