Kristis Low Fat Blondies Recipe 385

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.
• Put the sugar in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a small skillet or in the microwave in a glass measuring cup. Stir the butter into the sugar until smooth, cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture. Add the flour mixture a bit at a time and mix until a smooth thick batter forms. Fold in the chips, as desired.
• Spoon the batter to the prepared dish and spread to evenly fill the dish. Bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Invert onto a rack and cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to the middle position. 2) Make a foil sling for a 13x9 inch baking pan by folding 2 long sheets of foil; 1st sheet should be 13 inches wide and second sheet should be 9 inches wide. Lay sheets of foil in pan perpendicular to each other, with extra hanging over the edges of the pan. Push foil into corners of the pan and up the sides of the pan, smoothing foil flush to pan. Lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. 3) Dry ingredients: whisk flour, salt and baking soda together in a bowl. 4) Wet ingredients: Whisk sugar, melted butter, egg and whites, vanilla, and vinegar together in a large bowl until smooth. 5) Stir in flour mixture, then add chocolate and nuts stirring with a rubber spatula until combined. 6) Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. 7) Bake until toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 17 to 20 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. 8) Let BLONDIES cool completely in pan, about 2 hours. Using foil overhang, lift BLONDIES out of the pan. Cut into 16 pieces and serve. Note: Since there isn't a lot of butter (which provides moisture) in these BLONDIES they will be dry and have no chew. So as you know baking is a science, so the moisture must be replaced to add flavor and chew. So the answer is cider vinegar!! When vinegar is combined with eggs, the acid in the vinegar will coagulate the proteins in the eggs, providing moisture and a chewy BLONDIE. :)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8x8 pan with non-stick spray.
• Whisk sugars, egg whites, vanilla, and salt into melted butter until well combined. Let mixture rest for 3 minutes, whisk again. Repeat rest/whisk cycle a total of three times. This helps the sugars dissolve and make the blondies extra chewy.
• Stir in flour, baking soda, and cranberries (or chocolate chips, nuts, ect). Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until light brown and set. Let cool, slice, and eat!
