Coconut Chocolate Chunk Blondies Food

COCONUT OIL CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub an 8"x8" baking dish with coconut oil and set aside.
• Add the 1/2 cup coconut oil and brown sugar to a large bowl. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until well-combined and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until combined. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with wooden spoon until nearly incorporated - do not overmix. The batter will be very thick. Mix in the 1 cup chocolate chunks.
• Transfer batter to the baking dish and using the wooden spoon or your fingers, gently but firmly press the batter into the pan, smoothing the top as much as possible as you go.
• Bake until golden brown and set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and use a cookie spatula to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Blondies keep well in a room-temperature airtight container for 2-3 days.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 x 12 x 2 inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well, scraping down the bowl. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and with the mixer still on low, slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Fold the walnuts and chocolate chunks in with a rubber spatula.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes exactly. Don't overbake! A toothpick may not come out clean. Cool completely in the pan and cut into bars.
