Small Batch Walnut Blondies


Well. It's been a while.
Almost a whole year, actually. Sue and I took a break over 2022 and stepped back from blogging. We are returning now and are going to do our best to share as many recipes as we can. 
I thought our first blog back should be a classic recipe. I went with blondies because, believe it or not, after 14 years of blogging we do NOT have a blondie recipe anywhere on the blog! I decided to make it a small batch as I mayhave overdone the sweets during the holidays so didn't need a full batch.
This recipe takes under half an hour to whip up and makes about 8 squares.


Small Batch Walnut Blondies

Ingredients
7 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 X 5 loaf pan (or 6 inch square) with parchment paper, set aside. 
Whisk together sugars and butters until creamy. Whisk in vanilla and egg yolk. 
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and walnuts. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just mixed. 
Spread into prepared pan - batter will be very thick. 


Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly browned and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack. 


When room temp, remove from the pan using the parchment paper.


Cut into pieces and serve. 


These freeze very well and will also last for a few days, covered, on the counter. 
If the batter seems really dry - mine did because I used a medium egg by mistake - add in 1 Tbsp of milk. You can add in 1/2 cup of whatever add in you like. Don't like walnuts? Use chocolate chips or butterscotch chips instead.
