Chocolate Chip and Walnut Blondies
These chocolate walnut blondies are dense and fudgy, packed with flavor. They're the perfect balance of sweet caramel and rich chocolate!
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams brown sugar
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 150 grams dark chocolate (chocolate chips or a chopped-up chocolate bar)
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper (8" x 13", or you can use a square 10" x 10" or 9" x 9" pan).
- Melt the butter and the two types of sugar together in a small pot on the stove until combined and the sugar has mostly dissolved. Let it cool until it's no longer burning hot, about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, chop up the chocolate and walnuts (if needed).
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter and sugar, whisking together for about a minute.
- Combine dry ingredients – flour and salt – in a separate mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients into the wet, folding together with a spatula until there are no dry spots left.
- Set aside a small handful of chocolate and walnuts to sprinkle over the top, then fold the rest of the add-ins into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Add batter to the pan, spreading evenly, then sprinkle over the reserved chocolate and walnuts.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes (this is a wide range because ovens can vary a lot and it depends on the pan that you're using – start checking them at 15 minutes) until the edges are golden brown and the middle is just set. You can check this by poking a knife into the center – if it comes out with no raw batter sticking to it, it's ready. However, it shouldn't be completely clean like when you bake a cake, since you still want a fudgy middle.
- Let cool to room temperature, then slice and enjoy!
