Serves: 24 bars
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1¾ cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup malted milk balls (like Whoppers or Maltesers), coarsely chopped in a food processor
- ¾ cup (9 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13- inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and malted milk powder together.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until completely combined. Scrape down the bowl, add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined.
- Add the flour mixture in two batches and beat until just combined. Add the malted milk balls, chocolate chips, and walnuts and beat until just combined, about 10 seconds. The mixture will be thick. Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the blondie comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. These blondies taste delicious warm. Cut them into squares and serve with ice cream. They also taste great at room temperature. Once thoroughly cooled, cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.
