Valentine's Day Blondies
Valentine's Day is right around the corner. If you're looking to celebrate the day of love in a sweet way, I've got you covered with these Valentine's Day Blondies.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cake flour
- ½ cup mini white chocolate chips
- 1 10 oz bag M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare and line an 8-inch square baking dish with grease and parchment. Set to the side.
- Brown the butter. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, melt the butter. The butter should foam, turn clear, and then brown. Make sure to continuously stir the butter while it is melting. The process should take 5-6 minutes depending on the heat. Make sure to watch the butter towards the end as it can burn very quickly. The butter is done when there is a nutty aroma to it. Once butter is browned, take off the heat and pour into a heatproof bowl. Let it cool while you prepare the batter.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, coconut sugar, egg, yolk, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the butter once it has cooled down. Fold in the flours. Once the mixture comes together, fold in the white chocolate chips and the M&Ms. Leave out a handful of M&Ms and some white chocolate chips to sprinkle on top.
- Using a spatula, add the blondie batter to the pan. The dough will be very thick and sticky, don't worry. You can use a spatula to pat it down flat or some parchment paper to flatten it down. Once the batter is flat, add the remaining M&Ms and white chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes. The blondies will crinkle on the top when ready.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
