Description
Deliciously moist blondies packed with white chocolate and pistachios.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g good quality white chocolate (usually gluten free, but check to be sure)
- 125 g unsalted butter (softened)
- 200 g golden caster sugar
- 150 g ground almonds/almond meal (not almond flour)
- 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 50 g coconut flour
- 2 large eggs (lightly whisked)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- 60 g chopped pistachios
- 50 g white chocolate (chopped)
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F (fan) and line a 20cmx20cm baking tin with baking parchment.
- Melt one third of the white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts (stirring each time) or in a bowl over some simmering water. Put to one side.
- Chop the remaining white chocolate into small chunks and put to one side.
- Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together using a wooden spoon until pale and creamy.
- Add in the almonds, baking powder, coconut flour, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Stir until just combined.
- Stir in the pistachios, the melted chocolate and the chopped chocolate, then spoon out the mixture into the prepared baking tin (it should be a thick mixture). Push the mixture to the corners and smooth it with the back of a spoon.
- Place in the oven and cook for 40-50 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Note: The top goes dark quite quickly, so it’s a good idea to cover it with some foil after about 15 minutes in the oven.
- Once cooked, take out of the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin.
- Take out of the tin and remove the baking parchment. Melt the white chocolate for the topping and drizzle over the top, then sprinkle on the chopped pistachios.
- Allow the chocolate to firm up a little, then cut the blondies into 16 pieces and serve.
Notes
- The blondies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate.
