White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Blondies
Thick and chewy white chocolate chip macadamia nut blondies - just like the famous cookies but in an easy-to-make bar form!
Servings: 14 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts
- optional: coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Add butter to a small sauce pan, melt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium heat and continue to cook 4-5 minutes until butter is golden in color. While butter is browning, add coconut flakes to a small pan and stir over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until browned (but careful not to let them burn!).
- Add butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs to a large bowl and mix until smooth. In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, oats, toasted coconut flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Mix in milk. Stir in chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Spread mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. (If desired, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top - I used about 1 teaspoon).
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. Store in airtight container.
Notes
Store in airtight container at room temperature up to one week.
