Praline Blondies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 18x18cm baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and praline syrup. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Be patient, as this step may take a few minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Let the mixture cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

5. 5

   Stir in the chopped almonds and dark chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a decorative edge, if desired.

7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking, as the blondies can become dry.

8. 8

   Remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Let the blondies cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.

9. 9

   Cut the blondies into squares and serve.

   Tip: Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
