Classic Chewy Blondies

Kept by The Bhook kitchen

Ingredients

• 150 g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 160 g brown sugar
• 115 g butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 80 g chopped walnuts
• 80 g chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 20 cm square baking tin with parchment.
2. In one bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another, whisk together melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Fold the dry mix into the wet until just combined; don’t overmix.
4. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
5. Bake 23–26 minutes. The top should be set and slightly puffed, with a toothpick coming out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Let cool at least 20 minutes before cutting.

Take care not to overbake. The center should look just set for chewy blondies.
