Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 6.3 ounces (180 g) white chocolate
- 6 ounces (170 g) unsalted butter
- 11 ounces (300 g) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 3.5 ounces (100 g) marzipan
- 1.7 ounces (50 g) sprinkles
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Grease and line an 18cm (7-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Melt Butter and Chocolate
- Place half of the white chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until golden. Pour over the white chocolate and let sit for one minute before stirring until smooth.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- Stir the light brown sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
- Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients:
- Gently fold half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the remaining flour.
- Stir in marzipan chunks, remaining white chocolate, and sprinkles.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350°F (177°C) until golden brown and slightly soft in the center.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Once cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- For richer flavor, use good quality white chocolate and almond extract.
- If marzipan is unavailable, substitute with almond paste, but reduce the amount slightly to avoid overly dense blondies.
- Store cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
