Why is it called blondies?

What are blondies anyway? Think of them like a brownie but without all the chocolate. Hold on Don’t run away just yet! I tell you why;

What sets blondies apart from their brownie cousins is the unique caramel-like flavor that comes from the combination of brown sugar and butter, making them irresistibly moist and chewy. Add in the luxurious texture of chocolate chips and the subtle crunch of almonds, and you have a dessert that’s both simple to make and utterly decadent. Perfect for any occasion, these almond chocolate blondies are a must-try for anyone who loves a sweet, homemade treat.

The name blondies comes because of their light, golden-brown color, which comes from the brown sugar and butter used in the recipe. Unlike brownies, which are made with cocoa or melted chocolate, blondies omit chocolate, resulting in a lighter, “blonde” appearance. The flavor is often more caramel-like due to the brown sugar, but they still have the same chewy texture as brownies.

Blondies fall somewhere between a cake and a cookie. They have the dense, chewy texture of a cookie but bake in a pan and cut into squares like a cake or brownies. This hybrid nature is why they’re sometimes referred to as “bars” or “cookie bars.” While they have elements of both, they lean more towards the texture and consistency of a cookie.

If you’re a fan of the chewy goodness of brownies but crave a change, almond chocolate blondies might just be your new favorite treat. Whether you’re whipping up a batch for a casual afternoon snack or a special dessert, this recipe is sure to impress.

Ingredients of Almond Chocolate Blondies

Butter; I use unsalted butter here, make sure to melt and wait until slightly cooled at room temperature
Light brown sugar; provides a great flavor to these blondies and also makes them moist. I use light brown sugar, but you can also use dark brown sugar for a more intense flavor.
Granulated sugar; adds sweetness but also helps to create a slightly crisper top on the blondies. The combination of brown and white sugars balances the texture and flavor.
Eggs; If you can remember, bring these out a couple of hours ahead of time, as room-temperature eggs blend much more easily into thick batters like this one. If you forget, just pop your chilly eggs into a bowl of very warm water for about ten minutes. Then proceed with the recipe.
Flour; Flour provides the structure for the blondies. be sure to use an all-natural almond butter made with just roasted almonds and salt. This will give you the best texture! I have used unbleached all-purpose flour and recommend using the same.
Chocolate chips; going to have that extra fudge factor. add bursts of sweetness and a contrasting texture to the blondies. They also bring a familiar chocolatey flavor, enhancing the overall taste.
Almond sliced; for nutty flavor and a bit of crunch to the blondies. Also, complement the chocolate. I highly recommend toasting these separately, because a toasted nut is immensely more flavorful than its pale counterpart.
Salt; and helps balance the sweetness, I also love to sprinkle the tops of these blondies with sea salt for the ultimate sweet & salty combo
Vanilla extract; for delicious flavor
Baking powder; for the best rise/texture & flavor! Don’t substitute these. Function as a leavening agent and lifts the blondies so that they can get some textures.

How to Make Almond Chocolate Blondies

First, preheat the oven to 356℉ (180℃). While the oven is heating, prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the blondies later.

Next, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk them briefly to ensure they mix evenly

Meanwhile, in another larger bowl, stir together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then, add in the beaten egg and vanilla extract, continuing to stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything combines with each other

Afterward, fold in the chocolate chips, stirring gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Once the batter is ready, transfer it to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Then, sprinkle the top with sliced almonds for an extra crunch.

Now, bake the blondies in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

Finally, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. Once cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed!

Now, Enjoy and savor the delish of Almond Chocolate Blondies!
