Blondies English Version

Hello everybody!

Today I want to share with you an amazing American recipe: Blondies. They are delicious treats that you can enjoy whenever you want. Be careful: they are NOT brownies; the main difference is the melted chocolate that you pour in your brownie batter. Nonetheless, they are as good as brownies, even some people prefer blondies!

For 16 squares:

Wet ingredients:

• 150 gr of room temperature butter (and a tiny bit for your pan)
• 8 cl of canola or sunflower oil
• 300 gr of brown sugar (light or dark, as you like)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Dry ingredients:

• 300 gr of all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder (or baking soda)
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 75 gr of white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
• 100 gr of chopped pecans

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F).

In a bowl, beat your butter until soft for about 2 minutes with your electric hand mixer or whisk. Then add the sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add the oil, eggs and vanilla and mix well. Mix the dry ingredients together and mix them with the wet ingredients.

Butter or spray your 24 cm (9.4 inches) side square pan and then spread in evenly your batter. Finally bake the cake for about 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Do not over bake it, you are looking for chewy blondies! Cut the cake into 16 squares and serve! You can decorate them with icing sugar.

Baking Tip: You can substitute the pecans and the white chocolate with other chocolates or candies. You also can use grated coconut but maybe use less flour (or your cake batter will be to dry). Feel free to create your own blondies!
