Homemade blondie bars with chocolate and almonds

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Plus 1 tablespoon sifted all-purpose
; flour
½ teaspoon Baking soda
⅛ teaspoon Salt
2 Vanilla beans; split
½ cup Unsalted butter
1 large Egg
1 cup Plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown
; sugar
¾ cup Toasted almonds; (or pecans),
; coarsely chopped
2 ounces White chocolate; coarsely chopped
2 ounces Dark chocolate; coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter a 6 to 8 inch square baking pan. Sift the flour with the baking soda and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper. Scrape the vanilla beans and reserve the pods and scrapings. Place the vanilla and the butter in a small saucepan and heat until melted. Beat the egg with the brown sugar at medium high speed until it resembles very loose meringue, about 3 minutes, then add melted butter. Reduce the speed, then add the flour and mix until not quite incorporated. Add the nuts and chopped chocolate; fold until well blended. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.

Bake until the top is dry and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges nearly dry, about 30 minutes.

Makes 15 bars.
