These blondies are right on top my list of things to whip up for a quick brunch too btw. (other than the ever famous no-bake cheesecake or a chill creamy fruity custard).
Basic brownie making steps
So the first step in baking is always getting the oven on preheat. And lining your baking tray with parchment paper and an oil spray. I even sprinkle a little flour all over the baking tray to give my baked brownies a nice golden crust. (Just gluttonous things) I also mixed all my dry ingredients in a bowl and set it aside. Then I proceeded with beating together some softened butter and sugar. I’ve used light brown sugar, which when put in food processor becomes somewhat white lookin’ for some reason You only need to beat it with an egg beater for about 2 to 3 minutes till you get a nice fluffy mix. Add in the egg and vanilla essence and beat until its fully incorporated. Your mixture will look like this and is absolutely lick-able ( I don’t do that ok?). Go ahead and add half of the milk and beat some more. The batter might look a bit crumbly but that’s OK. Next you add in your dry ingredient. At this point, if you don’t have Kitchen Aid, please mix the batter with a spatula first if you don’t want dry flour specks all over your kitchen top. Lastly, adding the other half of the milk to make a rather thick looking brownie batter.
Now comes my favvv part, adding in the chocolate chips (and nibbling simultaneously).
Reserve a few chips to add on the top and dump all the rest in the batter. Your batter is going to be thick so once its ready and you transfer it to your baking tray, you’ll have to use the back of the spoon to really spread it around. I am using a 10 x 10 inch pan that I had at home, but you can also use a standard 9 by 9 pan as well. Top it off with some more chocolate chips (you can also ignore my quantity of chocolate chips and add as many bags of chips as you want, nooooooo judgementttt my friend) The brownies take about 30 to 33 mins to bake at 175 C. The edges will be light golden brown when the brownies will be done. Wait for the blondies to come down to room temperature and then cut them up in squares.
How long do they last?
Am….well they are gone before nightfall so not very long 😛 But generally they can last for up to a week in a cookie jar. You can freeze them once they cool down if you don’t plan to consume them straight away. When you are ready to eat, let them thaw out for 1 hour or microwave for 30 secs.
