I am so excited to reveal the cover for my new book: Snacking Bakes. I have been working on this book since Snacking Cakes came out in 2020, and it’s finally time to share it with all of you!

Snacking Bakes, out November 7, 2023, is the perfect sibling for Snacking Cakes. It’s full of super easy, low-lift recipes for Cookies, Bars, Brownies, Cakes, and a few savory treats that can all be whipped up in about an hour (or less), in one bowl, with no fancy ingredients or equipment because I know you all love baking, but don’t always have a lot of time or energy to make a little treat. There are lots of vegan and gluten free options too!

I’ll be sharing more sneak peeks as the release date gets closer, there are already a few spreads up on the Amazon page! Preorders are so important for the success of books and I would appreciate it so much if you would preorder Snacking Bakes from your favorite retailer. As always, thank you for your support!

Blondies are one of the easiest bakes around. Just combine a few simple pantry ingredients in one bowl with whatever chocolate you have around, spoon the batter into a pan, and bake. The brown butter and vanilla give these a rich and delicious flavor so don’t skimp on either.

One Bowl Brown Butter Blondies

Makes one 8x8-inch pan

10 tablespoons (142g) unsalted butter

1 cup (200g) dark brown sugar

1 large egg, cold from the fridge

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon kosher salt (diamond crystal)

1 cup (128g) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or m&ms plus more to sprinkle

Flaky salt, to sprinkle (optional)

Heat oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper

Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until all of the milk solids turn golden and the butter has a nutty fragrance being careful to not let it burn.

Add the butter to a large bowl, then add the brown sugar. Whisk to combine then whisk in the salt and vanilla. Whisk in the egg.

Fold in the flour and baking powder. When a few streaks of flour remain, fold in the chocolate.

Transfer the batter to the pan and smooth the top then sprinkle with more chocolate and a bit of flaky salt if desired.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set on the edges and still soft in the center. Let the blondies cool in the pan set on a rack.
