Description
Ready in just 35 minutes, this blondies recipe will help you create chewy, buttery blondies packed with chocolate chips and pistachios.
Ingredients
- 125g unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 100g light brown sugar
- 50g white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 50g Pistachios chopped
- 135g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 50g white chocolate, roughly chopped
Equipment:
- 24 x 18 cm baking tray
- Instant Vortex VersaZone
Instructions
- Butter a 24 x 18 cm baking tin and line with parchment paper. Gently melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed pan and set aside to cool slightly.
- Chop the pistachios, for texture I like to chop some very finely, and the others more chunky.
- Preheat your oven or air fryer as directed below.
- Whisk the eggs one at a time into the cooled melted butter, then add in the sugar and vanilla and whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add the pistachios, flour, baking powder, salt and white chocolate, then fold the mixture together with a silicon spatula, until just combined with no streaks of flour remaining. Don’t overmix.
- Tip the batter into your prepared baking tin, and place it into your preheated oven or air fryer.
- Air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 145C and set the timer for 25-30 minutes
- Oven: Preheat your oven to 160C and bake for 25 minutes
- Bake until just set, but still gooey adjusting the time slightly to achieve a perfectly gooey result.
- Remove the blondies from the oven/air fryer and allow to cool completely.
- Turn the blondies out onto a board and cut them into squares. The blondies will keep for 5-7 days in an air-tight container.
- (I love eating these straight from the fridge where they get deliciously chewy and cold!)
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled.
Oven: Simply add the batter to a larger baking sheet, allowing the batter to sit about 2cm deep. Adjust the cooking time as necessary. By a few minutes. The batter should be set, not liquid, but gooey.
Air fryer: Baking powder activates once your wet and dry ingredients are mixed. For this reason, it is better to make 2 separate mixes if you want to bake a double batch in your air fryer. Get the first batter to bake, and make the second when the bake time has 10 minutes to go.
