What makes espresso blondies so special?
These blondies are not just your average treat. The addition of espresso powder infuses them with a deep, rich coffee flavour that perfectly complements the sweetness of brown sugar and white chocolate chips. The result? A decadent, moist, and chewy dessert with an coffee kick!
Key ingredients and techniques
- Espresso Powder: We’re using instant espresso powder to give these blondies their coffee flavor. If you’re a coffee lover, feel free to bump up the amount from 2 teaspoons to 3 for an extra punch.
- Brown Sugar: It adds a deep, caramel-like sweetness, making the blondies moist and flavorful.
- White Chocolate Chips: These add a sweet, creamy contrast to the deep flavors of the espresso and brown sugar.
Common questions
Can I use regular coffee powder instead of espresso? Yes, but the flavor won’t be as intense. Espresso powder is more concentrated and gives a richer coffee taste.
What if I don’t have white chocolate chips? You can use milk or dark chocolate chips, or even nuts for a different texture.
Can I make these gluten-free? Absolutely! Just substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free blend.
Baking the perfect espresso blondies
Combining Ingredients: Start by melting the butter and mixing it with brown sugar. This creates a rich base for your blondies.
Adding Coffee: Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder. This is where your blondies start to take on their coffee flavour.
Getting the Texture Right: Stir in the flour, cornstarch (for softness), baking powder, and salt. Cornstarch is our secret ingredient to keep the blondies tender.
So, there you have it – a treat that’s sure to impress at any gathering or just as a special snack for yourself. Happy baking! ☕🍪🤎
