Loaded Blondies Recipes

LOADED BLONDIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or heatproof glass dish. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving about 1" of paper overhanging the two long sides.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to blend. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer set on medium speed, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
• Stir in the flour mixture until well combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate pieces, 1/2 cup of the butterscotch pieces, and 1/2 cup of the walnuts. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan with the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula (SEE RECIPE NOTES BELOW). Sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces, butterscotch pieces and walnuts evenly over the top.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Grasp the edges of the parchment and carefully lift the blondies out of the pan. Cut into bars.

EASY BLONDIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and both sugars in a pan over a low heat, adding a pinch of salt if the butter is unsalted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins - this will stop the eggs from curdling when added. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 23cm square tin or 25 x 20cm baking tin and line with baking parchment.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter and sugar mixture until well-combined. Sieve in the flour and baking powder, then gently fold until you have a smooth batter. Fold in the white chocolate, then scrape into the prepared tin. Smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until the edges are coming away from the sides of the tin, the top has a papery crust and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, but no liquid batter. The blondies will firm up as they cool.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The blondies will keep in an airtight container for three days.
