These white chocolate espresso blondies are a sweet, rich, and chewy pick-me-up for any time of the day. Try these with your morning shot of espresso or heated up as an evening dessert served with ice cream.
Melt your butter on low heat in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350F and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, mix flour, espresso powder, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Whisk together the melted and cooled butter, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cane sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
Once combined, whisk in the dry ingredients.
Next, stir in the white chocolate chips (if using)
Finally, transfer the (thick) batter to your prepared baking dish and bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes*. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
Tip: Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup! Once the espresso blondies have cooled in their dish, remove the whole thing by lifting it by the parchment paper. Then you can easily cut it into neat squares before serving or storing.Storage: Store at room temperature for 3-5 days in an airtight container. They can be frozen for 3-6 months. *For blondies with a softer interior, bake them for 25-30 mins. For firm but chewy blondies (my favorite) do closer to 35-40 minutes. I like to take them out when the center is just set and no longer jiggles much when you wiggle the dish.
