Blondies were always one of my favorite types of cookies. Or is it a cake? Personally I am not really sure. But it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that they taste good. One problem...They aren't the healthiest of options. I haven't made them a whole lot healthier but added whole grains to the recipe to allow for a little less guilt. Less guilty, but ALL the flavor of regular blondies. This recipe is extremely easy to prep and entails only a few ingredients. Try out the recipe. I guarantee you will enjoy!! And to all my kosher readers, this recipe is also kosher!! Unlike some of my recipes, this has exact measurements.
Ingredients needed for less guilty Blondies
- 1 stick of unsalted organic butter (melted)
- 1 cup packed organic light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (The REAL stuff please)
- 1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Whatever fillings you would like (I use white and dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix melted butter and light brown sugar until combined completely. Slowly add egg and vanilla while constantly mixing to make sure egg doesn't begin to cook if butter is still hot. Once mixed to a smooth liquid add the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add whatever fillings you desire. There are 2 ways you can cook these. Put dough in a greased 8x8 inch cake pan or do what I do:
Go out and buy one of these (Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Bar Pan
)
)Bake blondies for 20 minutes if you like them to be moister/softer, or bake for 30 minutes for a more crispier/drier blondie.
Notes on recipe:
- Filling suggestions: White chocolate chips, Dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts, raisins, m&ms, reeses pieces, or whatever your heart desires.
- I certainly think the moister/softer blondie is better but feel free to try anything.
- Allow blondies to completely cool before cutting them or taking them out of the pan.
- One of my friends suggested this and it was great. Put the blondies in the fridge and let them get hard. You might be surprised but they happen to make for an even better treat. And it take longer to eat. Thanks Justin.
- The Bar Pan works amazing. I highly suggest it. It can also be used for easy less messy brownies. Oops did I say brownies. Not really supposed to mention those while talking blondies.
Enjoy!!!
