Preheat the oven at 175ºC/350ºF conventional oven and prepare a 20x20 cm /8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
Start by browning the butter, over medium heat in a frying pan. Once browned, pour it into a bowl and add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar. Use a whisk and mix it together well for 1 minute.
160 g butter, 50 g granulated sugar, 150 g dark brown sugar
Then add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix it well together for 1-2 minutes, so it becomes lighter in color.
1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt over the wet ingredients and with a rubber spatula, fold in the flour until there is a few streaks of flour left to avoid overmixing the dough.
165 g all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Then roughly chop the milk and dark chocolate and add it to the dough. Gently fold it into the batter until just combined.
100 g dark chocolate, 100 g milk chocolate
Add the blondie batter to the prepared baking pan and even it out. Bake it for 22-25 minutes or until just set.
Let the blondie cool down until room temperature and cut it into slices. Optionally top it with flaky sea salt.
