Chewy blondies with a crisp texture on the outside and fudgy one on the inside. Studded with walnuts and dark chocolate chips. Made with brown sugar (and plenty of it) which caramelizes during baking creating something truly wonderful. These are slightly sweeter than the average brownie, so pairing them with tea is ideal. I made them for a little house party and they were a warm hit :). Enjoy.
Recipe adapted from Barefeet-in-the-kitchen. (I used dark chocolate chips and more of them).
Last year: Peanut butter, cauliflower and pea curry.
Two years ago: White bread croutons (vegan).
Three years ago: Chicken with light gorgonzola and mushroom sauce.
Four years ago: Baby making and no cooking :).
Ingredients (for a 20 X 30 cm baking tray; makes 12 blondies):
- 250 g all-purpose flour (or half all-purpose, half wholemeal)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 140 g butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 400 g brown sugar (not the very dark kind, preferably)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 200 g bitter chocolate chips
- 50 g chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line the baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, vanilla extract and the melted butter.
Mix the flour with the salt, baking soda and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mix to the wet ingredient mix, until you have an even batter. Add the walnuts and the chocolate chips.
Mix well and pour the composition in the prepared baking tin.
Put it in the preheated oven and bake it for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted inside comes out clean.
Take out and allow to cool a bit.
Cut into 12 squares.
It's done, dig in! :)
