Beatrice's blondies

heheh hi sorry for the lack of updates we were busy with ire and stuff lol haha sry

This time i made blondies using Forget Those Calories (Kejia's recipe) ((kind of)). It's my first time baking blondies and i've only ever made brownies which weren't even that good. All i can remember is that they tasted really strange lol.

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
150g butter
3 eggs
3/4 cup chocolate chips

*if you're thinking 'OMG 2 1/2 CUPS OF BROWN SUGAR????'... same. I really hate it when things are too sweet, like my last batch of chocolate chip cookies. So, i reduced the amount of brown sugar to just slightly over 2 cups and they turned out fine :-) (i still find it a bit too sweet tho but it's personal preference i guess). Also, i don't like it when the chocolate chips are overpowering and you can't taste the cookie/ cake. I reduced the chocolate chips to 1/2 a cup.

Directions:
1. Combine the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.

    

2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on medium low heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times, until the butter has a nutty smell and turns a golden brown. Take off heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.



The original recipe said that you could add butterscotch chips in, but i've never heard of them before lol. Instead i added 5 teaspoons of butterscotch sauce that i found in my fridge.
   sorry for the low quality photos, it's hard to take photos with dirty hands )-: 

3. Add the eggs to the butter then mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Mix in the chips.

     

Adding milk to cake mix will make the cake (or brownies) more moist and apparently it helps with browning. I added 1 tablespoon of meji milk :-)

4. Use cooking spray to grease a 9 x 13 pan. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth to the edges. Bake for 30 minutes.



     


If you're using greaseproof paper, plz plz plz remember to oil them before putting the batter in.


After 30 mins.....


~wooOoOHhoOooOOO~ look at the crisp edges that look (slightly) similar to Kejia's ones

I didn't oil my paper (idk if it's my fault or the paper's fault) and the blondies got stuck )-: 

It took me and my helper Wati like 20 mins to cut everything and put them into containers hahahahha.
 

Overall i think these blondies are perfect if you lower the sugar level haaa haaa haaahahha hahheahh hah they're moist and chewy and really yummy!! :-)
