  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup water
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 60 g | 2oz dark or semi sweet chocolate chunks

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 176C | 350F. Grease a square 8×8-inch baking tray with cooking oil spray.
  • In a bowl, whisk brown sugar, butter and apple sauce/yoghurt until light and fluffy. Add sweetener/sugar, egg and vanilla.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the water into the batter, and mix well. Do not over beat batter!
  • Pour batter into prepared baking tray and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and chocolate chunks.
  • Swirl the cinnamon sugar and chocolate around to create a ripple effect. (Optional: Sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar)
  • Bake until golden, 20 – 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the blondies comes out semi-dirty (The dirtier, the fudgy-er they will be). Be careful not to over-bake as they will dry out!
  • Cool completely before cutting into 16 bars.
