Ingredients:
1 cup walnuts, divided
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
10 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 in baking pan with foil and butter or grease the foil. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, blend 1/2 cup of walnuts. Do not make into a fine powder, but rather pulse only until you get small pieces of walnut. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Pulse until well mixed.
3. Meanwhile, beat the butter and brown sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, until they are completely incorporated. Add in the vanilla.
4. Add the flour/walnut mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add the remaining walnuts.
5. Using a spatula, also buttered/greased, spread the batter evenly in the pan. It will be sticky, so be patient! Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven or until the blondies spring back evenly.
These blondies are great with coffee, hot chocolate or just by themselves!
