Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the two large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is slightly lighter in color.
- Stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few flour streaks remain.
- Fold in the 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Make sure to smooth the top for an even bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the blondies into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious White Chocolate Almond Blondies!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for better batter integration and smoother texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense blondies.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the almonds before adding them to the batter.
- Check your blondies a few minutes before the recommended baking time to prevent overcooking.
- Allow blondies to cool completely for clean, precise cutting.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled blondies.
