No-Chocolate Blondie Brownies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking dish.

Combine butter and milk in a large saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir brown sugar and egg into the butter mixture.

Sift flour into the butter mixture; stir. Add walnuts and vanilla extract; stir. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into 2-inch squares to serve.
