Blondies are the yummier cousin to brownies. A large name, however I believe candy brown sugar, toasted macadamias and a great comfortable centre make for a awesome bar. And with the addition of a few coffee pictures on this recipe, the espresso cuts throughout the sweetness from the white chocolate, leading to an insanely scrumptious candy deal with.
I want I may just say I introduced those into the place of job to proportion with the NSW 5 Senses group, however I’m afraid they didn’t make it previous my entrance door… Whoops! So for now, right here is a straightforward hit of each espresso & baked items you’ll be able to make at house!
Macadamia & Espresso Blondies

- 1 heaped tbs almond meal
- 1 tsp espresso grinds
- 170g salted butter
- 300g brown sugar
- 1 large pinch of salt

Recipe
- In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, almond meal and occasional grinds in combination till blended.
- Warmth up the butter, brown sugar and salt in a small saucepan, over a low warmth, for roughly 4 mins till the combination is scorching.

It will take a couple of mins to completely emulsify the fats with the coffee espresso, however simply stay blending till you have got a clean, sugary aggregate with out a visual separated oils. Depart to chill for 10 mins.
- Whilst the combination is cooling, preheat the oven to 170°C and line a medium sized baking tin with baking paper. (I used a 24cm x 24cm tin).
- As soon as cooled, beat within the egg into the sugar aggregate till absolutely integrated. This must take about 2 mins.
- Upload the rainy aggregate to the dry aggregate and fold gently in combination. Simply earlier than the combination is absolutely blended (you wish to have to peer a couple of patches of flour aggregate), throw for your white chocolate and macadamias, then combine till simply blended. Over blending the batter will make the blondies pop out extra cake like reasonably than the fudgy, gooey blondie texture we’re after.
- Pour the combination into the baking tray and bake for 19-24 mins (I took mine out at 19 mins and had them leisure for a couple of hours as a result of I really like a comfortable, gooey blondie). Take away from oven at depart to chill totally earlier than cutting.
- Experience along a cup of your favorite espresso!
