Seven Jewel Coffee Blondies
- 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Espresso powder dissolved in 1 T boiling water
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped 72% dark chocolate, chopped into chocolate chips size
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup minced candied orange peel
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped dried figs or prunes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a 9 x 13 " baking pan by lining it with parchment paper that hangs over 2 opposite ends(for lifting out later.)
- In a saucepan, over medium high heat, melt the sticks of butter . Remove the pan from heat and incorporate the brown sugar. Cool slightly and lightly beat in eggs .Add vanilla and coffee.. rn Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to a pan of sugar mixture. rnAdd chocolate through coconut til just combined. rnPat down to fill the pan. Then it's just a matter of B,C,C,and C: Bake, Cool, Cut and Consume! rn. rn.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until top is golden brown, and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack. Lift the ends of the parchment and transfer to a cutting board for cutting.Store in air tight container. Flavor improves after a day or two; texture is better if kept refrigerated.
- Note*:Unlike many , I prefer brownies that are not chock full of the additions (nuts, chocolate, etc.). I aimed to keep additions to about 2 cups total per recipe.But if you prefer your brownies chock full, you may want to double the additions.
