Equipment

  • 1 8 inch square baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened (1/2 cup, I use organic)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar I use organic, can also use coconut palm sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature (I use pasture raised)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup all purpose gluten free flour blend* I use King Arthur 1 to 1 divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cups dark chocolate chips I like Guittard's 63% cocoa baking chips

Instructions

  • Line a 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper with extended sides (for easy lift out.) Butter lightly. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the softened butter to the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the brown sugar, use the paddle and cream at medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the egg and beat in over low speed until well mixed in. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add vanilla, salt, 1/2 cup of flour and baking powder. Mix on low speed until just mixed.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and chocolate baking chips. Mix slowly until just mixed through.
  • Using a rubber spatula, place the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 22 - 24 minutes, until the center is slightly puffed and seems somewhat firm but not hard. The blondies are wonderful slightly undercooked!
  • When cool, lift the blondies out of the pan and cut into 16 squares, or desired shape. Store in an airtight container. (These also freeze well!)
