Almond Joy Blondies

A stack of three almond joy blondies with a glass of milk

Chocolate, coconut, and almonds come together in this not too sweet blondie that would be perfect served with your favorite hot beverage.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup chopped almonds     1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut     1 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350

Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.

Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add in 2 eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.  Stir in the flour, kosher salt, and baking powder.  Fold in the almonds, coconut, and chocolate.  Spread batter into the baking pan and bake until set and lightly golden, approximately 25 minutes.

Optional:  I melted 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzled some chocolate over the top of my blondies.  It’s unnecessary, but pretty.

Notes

*I used unsweetened coconut for a less sweet taste, but sweetened coconut can be used.

*I used Ghirardelli baking chocolate cut into chunks for this recipe, but use 1 cup of whichever chocolate you prefer.
