Blondies

Makes 16 bars

These brownies are the essence of “pantry cooking”. At only 10 ingredients, these blondies can be made in less than 35 minutes start to finish. The best news is if you don’t have the right nuts or the right chips; that’s okay, just change it up and add what you have! I happened to have walnuts but did not have white chocolate chips, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, and they were equally delicious, if not better.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup white chocolate chips/semi-sweet chocolate chips/milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Melt butter in the microwave. Use the power setting at 40% (otherwise you’ll have a giant buttery mess), heating every 15 seconds until almost melted. Add it to a bowl and add the brown sugar. Mix well on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla and mix in. Mix in 1/3 of the dry ingredients until barely mixed in. Repeat until the dry ingredients are gone; do not over mix! Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour the batter into a 9-inch greased pan. Bake 20-25 minutes.
