Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F and lining an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, ensuring a smooth dry ingredient base.
- Create a wet mixture by whisking melted butter with sugar, incorporating eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until the texture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk to maintain a silky consistency. Optional: fold in white chocolate chips for extra richness.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and eliminate air pockets.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge clean with minimal crumbs.
- While brownies are still warm, craft a luxurious glaze by whisking honey, powdered sugar, and cream until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the hot brownies, allowing it to seep into the warm surface and create a lustrous finish.
- Allow the glazed brownies to cool completely, which helps set the texture and intensifies the flavor profile before slicing into delectable squares.
Notes
- Add extra honey for deeper sweetness, creating a more intense caramelized flavor profile.
- Swap white chocolate chips with chopped pecans or walnuts for delightful crunch and nutty undertones.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make recipe celiac-friendly without compromising rich texture.
- Let brownies cool completely to achieve cleaner, more defined cutting lines for perfect square servings.
