Samoa M&M Blondies
This recipe has been featured in a post on The Recipe Girl blog: Samoa Blondies from The Newlywed Kitchen
Samoa M&M Blondies
Yield: 16 blondies
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 25 min
These delicious blondies from The Newlywed Kitchen are tainted with coconut and browned butter. I opted to mix in M&M's in place of the usual chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/4 cups mini M&M’s
a few extra M&M’sDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8x8-inch pan with nonstick spray and then line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and begins to smell nutty (watch it closely so it doesn’t burn). Let the butter cool for a few minutes, until just barely warm.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars. With a wooden spoon, stir in egg, vanilla and salt. Stir in flour, coconut and M&M’s until batter is blended.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a few additional M&M’s on top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Let the blondies cool before turning them out onto a cutting board and slicing into squares (chilling them will make that process even easier).
Tips:
*Use chocolate chips in place of M&M’s if you’d like.
*For slightly gooey, underbaked blondies, bake for 25 minutes. For fully baked blondies, bake the entire 30 minutes.Source: RecipeGirl.com (Adapted from The Newlywed Kitchen)

can you cook the batter and refrigerate and bake It later

I have not prepared it that way, so I’m not sure if that would be okay or not.

Can you bake these without coconut? I don’t particularly like coconut so just wondering

I have not tried them without coconut.

Any idea on doubling the recipe & adjusting cooking time &/or temp? thanks!

Since I haven’t done it myself, I can’t really give times for that.

I attempted these tonight and they didn’t turn out at all.
They never got brown or cooked through. I followed the directions exactly, so the only thing I can think of would be the browned butter, but I didn’t burn that so I’m not sure what went wrong. I was SO excited to try them too!
