200g unsalted butter - brown in a saucepan 350g soft brown sugar - mix in with the butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 egg yolks 2 large eggs 200g plain flour 1tsp baking powder pinch of salt 1tsp ground cardamom - mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones 200g choco chips 150g flaked almonds 180c for 30-35 mins
Made it using 220g sugar instead of 350g, and it was actually perfect! My mum gave it 10/10, which is an achievement in itself! Thanks for sharing Chetna!
Made this yesterday-it was amazing!! Chetna, I love the variety of recipes on your channel. I’ve lost track of how many I’ve tried (from your channel and from your Healthy Indian cookbook). I’m new to Indian food, but you make it so accessible.
This looks fantastic and I can’t wait to try it. BONUS: using a binder clip to hold the parchment during baking was genius! I often struggle with getting parchment to stay in place as I’m pouring batter into the pan. I will absolutely use this for inspiration.
Oh my gosh, Chetna! You have out done yourself with these blondes of pure indulgence. Oh, wait! I just threw a batch with pistachios and cardamom powder in the oven. Cardamom is my weakness. 🥰. Thank you for bringing your beautiful soul to us and sharing all these recipes. Good thing I love to mountain bike or my clothes wouldn’t fit. lol
Loved your techniques since G B B S. So happy to find this resource and this recipe. Thanks for sharing your ideas and skills ! I think you are a true winner! in the ‘ real’ world bake-off. M
Great recipe! I'm definitely going to keep this one for later. When I was a teenager, i won a contest with pecan blondies, but looking back, I'm sure they were no where as delicious as these look to be.
200 gr brown butter/ghee 350 gr soft brown sugar/light muscavado 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 egg yolks 2 large eggs 200 gr ap flour 1 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 1 tsp ground cardamom 200 gr dark chocolate chips (65%) 150 gr flake almonds oven 180c 32-35 mins
Oh my word! They look lush! Great explanation on some of the techniques like melting the butter which I confess may have worried me before seeing you do it. May i just check what size tin you used please?
What a scrumptuous blonde!! Thank you so much Chetna for this fab recipe. Just a quick question, where did you buy your chocolate buttons from? Thanks. xx
Food with Chetna made them this afternoon together with the Brioche...great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! The cardamom is really subtle which is perfect and I think they would go well with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. Thanks for being my baking buddy this afternoon 😃
Wondering if this recipe would bake well without the chocolate bits and almonds? I'm looking for a classic blondie recipe and the batter looks really good.... I've had two fails with too much moisture using two other recipes. Any help on this would be so greatly appreciated! They look wonderful as is....but wanting a plain version. Thank you!
Omg 🤤 cannot wait to make these! Quick question - The almond you sprinkled on top of the blondies - were they extra to the 150g for the recipe?!? Writing my shopping list now 😛 Thank you Chetna!
That looks delish! My daughter and I watched it and salivated together- we also had a bet on at the end to see how many times you'd say 'stunning' but you didn't! 🙂
Brian P. Chetna, I really think you should replace your Circulon saucepan, as a lot of the non-stick coating has worn off, leaving the untreated Aluminium exposed. I don't wish to be an alarmist, but cooking in untreated Aluminium pots has been connected to early onset Alzheimer's. My Mum had it, five years before she died, and six out eight of her saucepans looked like your Circulon pan (Some were worse). I wouldn't want learn of you (a Lovely Lady & great cook), contracting such a terrible disease in the future.
I agree. My Mum in Laws saucepans 50 yrs ago had me concerned. I bought her a new set. She was so pleased how beautiful they looked wouldn't use them. Had to remove old saucepans when she was at work. Was concerned she'd be upset, she was actually pleased as she was really keen to use them, just didn't want to spoil them. Years later they were still immaculate. She couldn't believe how well they looked as used every day. My Father was an Engineer before retraining as a Teacher, it was he who made me aware of the dangers in aluminium. He became a Shop Steward in think Carron & Co, Camelon near Falkirk, Scotland, they made cookers of course using aluminium. All those years back, I was under 10, it was laughed at. He was quite correct to be concerned!

350 gr soft brown sugar/light muscavado
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
2 large eggs
200 gr ap flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp ground cardamom
200 gr dark chocolate chips (65%)
150 gr flake almonds

Oh my word! They look lush! Great explanation on some of the techniques like melting the butter which I confess may have worried me before seeing you do it. May i just check what size tin you used please?
What size pan did you use?
This is crazy good!! Will try adding a little extra-finely grated coconut next time.
Heavenly
It is soooooo good
What size tin do you use? Is that a 9x13 baking tin? Can't wait to make this!
Looks totally delicious!
What a scrumptuous blonde!! Thank you so much Chetna for this fab recipe. Just a quick question, where did you buy your chocolate buttons from? Thanks. xx
Greetings Chetna, from the Caribbean, sending many blessings to you and your family🙏🏻.
Thanks so much
Can you substitute the flaked almonds in the blonde for ground? These look amazing!
Baked this today to watch #gbbo 🍰☕ Absolutely delicious 😋.
Yay! Thank you!
This looks amazing, can't wait to try this!! What brand of chocolate chips do you use?
Do you think a white chocolate/cranberries combination could work? I was also wondering with chocolate/coconut
I am So going to make this!
I hope you SO enjoy it
These look delicious! Could you substitute flax seed egg for the egg?
That is super gorgeous
Thanks so much
Wow def will be trying this one thanks Chetna from Australia
I will be making these tomorrow, well done Chetna .
The Butter needs to be just a little darker..
In Austria we call it 'Nuss-Butter', wich means Nut-Butter. Because of the color and nutty taste.
Yup
Wow Chetna! This looks so tasty. Definitely going to try it 😃. Just wondering if this recipe would be ok with pistachios instead of almonds?
Ha, I wish I hadn’t brushed my teeth already! I'll just have to make these tomorrow!
Oh yummy!
Thanks
Food with Chetna made them this afternoon together with the Brioche...great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! The cardamom is really subtle which is perfect and I think they would go well with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. Thanks for being my baking buddy this afternoon 😃
HOW HOW. Could you leave that heaven on a plate for TWO HOURS no way..ha ha 2 minutes in my house xx
hahaha
Hi do we need to switch on all the elements top bottom and fan ?
Yes
Wondering if this recipe would bake well without the chocolate bits and almonds? I'm looking for a classic blondie recipe and the batter looks really good.... I've had two fails with too much moisture using two other recipes. Any help on this would be so greatly appreciated! They look wonderful as is....but wanting a plain version. Thank you!
there is only one way to find out..... try it
😍 wow
Thanks
Can you just use ghee?
what would b the tray size?
around 33 x 23 cms
@@FoodwithChetna Thanks ^_^
Looks so damn delicious!!
Chetnik, So if I have ghee anyway I could just use that right??
I think having the browned milk solids left in makes a difference to both taste and texture when it comes to baking
Omg 🤤 cannot wait to make these!
Quick question - The almond you sprinkled on top of the blondies - were they extra to the 150g for the recipe?!?
Writing my shopping list now 😛 Thank you Chetna!
She says it's still 150g flaked almonds in total. A handful of almonds was left on the side for sprinkling on top.
I made this for work. Absolute rave reviews from my colleagues!
Is there any replacement of eggs here in this?
Supurb 😘 stay blessed always be a good friends 😘
That looks delish!
My daughter and I watched it and salivated together- we also had a bet on at the end to see how many times you'd say 'stunning' but you didn't! 🙂
Any substitute for eggs here?
I hope that is not a nonstick pan with the non stick coating worn off for making ghee!!
egg custards please chetna
Such a cheeky tease you are!!! 😉
Love you ❤️
👍🤗🧡
Should the middle be wet
Yes it is moist in the middle
@@FoodwithChetna so when u take in out from the oven the sides r leaving the pan n the middle is moist?
