Blondies with Chocolate Chunks with Coarse Sea Salt

Blondies are vanilla brownies and I have to say that I like them more than brownies. You can eat them with chocolate, nutella, peanut butter, etc. and they become more interesting. In this case I put dark chocolate chunks and coarse sea salt which is a lovely combination. Of course if you prefer you can just add chocolate chips to them :).

Makes 15 blondies in a 26x17cm mould

Ingredients:

• 120g unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
• 180g brown sugar
• 1 egg, cold
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 150g all purpose flour
• 50g chopped dark chocolate
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt to top

1. MIX & MIX. Put the butter, sugar and egg in a bowl and mix using a whisk until lighter in colour.

2. ALL IN. Add the vanilla and salt and mix it in. Finish with the flour and chocolate and mix everything once again. Keep a few chunks of chocolate separate for decoration.

3. TO THE OVEN. Put baking paper in a mould and flatten the dough inside. Top it with chocolate chunks and coarse sea salt. Take to a preheated oven at 170C for 20-30min or until golden. They will still be moist inside so the toothpick test is no good for this recipe.

4. PATIENCE. Wait for them to cool down a bit and cut them.
