Food: A "Caramelized" Blondie

Ok, so I have this blondie recipe that's always been really great, except it relies on Almond Flour.  Sometimes my body likes almond flour, and sometimes it doesn't.  And sometimes I want a 'brownie' but not the chocolate.

Enter new recipe.  By accident.

So the other day the above was true, but I only had 1/2 a cup of gluten free flour left, so I decided to make some of the recipe for me using GF flour and some of it for my husband using regular flour.  It required 1 stick of butter, 2/3-1c brown sugar, 2 eggs, and 2c flour, and in my haste I measured 4Tbsp butter, 1/2 an egg and 1/2 a cup flour as correct fractional measurements.  I didn't realize it until afterwards that my measurements were wonky at best, but at that point I just had to "go with it."

Turns out, whatever they were were delicious.  They didn't really rise a whole lot, but they had this caramelized sugar flavor to them that both of us loved.  Then my husband was like "save this recipe" except, for some proportions I had used 1/2 and for some I had used 1/4 and I couldn't remember which were which.

So I tried them again today.  They turned out well, and I'm sharing.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (1c) butter - melted
  • 2c brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2c (GF) flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder.
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350 (NOT convection)
  • line 9x13 pan with parchment paper or grease well (NOT 8x8 - it won't cook correctly)
  • melt butter
  • add in brown sugar
  • beat in eggs until well mixed
  • in a separate bowl mix the salt, flour, and baking powder together
  • mix all ingredients until well blended
  • pour into 9x13 container
  • back for ~28 minutes (I recommend watching around 25 min and going as long as 30-35, as every oven and elevation are different - but once it comes out clean, take it out.  do not overbake).
  • Enjoy! (you can even enjoy this hot)

I don't know what it is, but it's addicting!  I'm calling them my "caramelized" blondies, though I could be persuaded to call them by Brown Sugar Blondies.  Either way, HIGHLY recommend!
