Blondies

  


What You Need:

• 1/4 pound soy margarine (1 stick) or 1 quarter tub of Earth Balance
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, (plus a bit more to flour your pan)
• 3/4 cup cashew pieces (or other chopped nuts)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2/3 cup unbleached granulated sugar
• Ener-G egg replacer for 3 eggs (follow box directions)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

What You Do:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Greeze a 9 inch square brownie pan with some margarine or Earth Balance. Sprinkle with flour, and tap it around to coat the pan. Dump any excess into the sink.
2. Spread your nuts on a sheet and toast them until just browned. My handy-dandy toaster oven works well for this important task. Set aside and cool.
3. Cream together the margarine and sugars until light and fluffy.
4. Add the Ener-G eggs and the vanilla and beat until well combined.
5. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and beat until just combined (you can use a spoon if ya want).
6. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Combine well so you don't get bald spots of dough with no jewels.
7. Spread the dough out evenly into the pan. Bake until golden on top and a cake cleaner comes out barely clean, around 40-50 minutes.
8. Let cool and cut into giant, piggy squares.

Hoard and share with no one.
