Salted Pecan Caramel Blondies

Posted by bhartivachhani1084 on

One of those blondies/cookies that literally came into existence because of my sweet tooth. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I crave something sweet and off late something that is chocolatey as well as a cookie dough kinda chewy fudgey softie. Well this one hit THE spot. I used salted pecan butter because I wanted that caramel salted blondie that I could easily have for breakfast AND as a dessert. Nut butters have lately become a staple in our household. I could not wait to share this recipe as I know many of y’all want something easy to whip up for Valentines and that does not require a huge lift of ingredients.
Feel free to substitute Salted pecan butter with peanut butter, Avocado oil with just regular butter and non dairy milk with dairy. I made the chocolate Layer with dates and very little coconut sugar only because the texture that comes off of coconut sugar is unbeatable. It gives a very chewy texture that IMO is a must in such recipes.
I guarantee you that this will be liked by ONE and all and is very easy to make since you almost have all ingredients in your pantry/fridge.
