nonsense blondies in a bread pan

I went on a weird baking spiral (goal: a small batch of blondies, "blondies for 2" was a google search) at too late o'clock one night recently and Joel was super into the result. I'm on the fence. They're pretty good though, extremely rich, and fit in a bread pan.

Chocolate Chip Blondies (with whisky, brown butter, walnuts, coffee, vanilla)

4 tbsp butter
1/2c dark brown sugar (or if you're like me, white sugar and a drizzle of molasses)
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp+ vanilla
glug of whisky (mine was Jameson)
tiny pinch of instant coffee, I have decaf. a splash of brewed coffee could work too.
1/2c flour
Handful of walnuts, chopped
Handful of chocolate chips


Heat oven to 350. On the stove, melt the butter, and toss in the walnuts. Stir until fragrant and butter solids are browning but not burnt. Add to sugar and flavorings in a bowl and let cool. Add egg yolk, flour, and if the mixture really is cool, chocolate chips (if it's warm it'll melt the chips). Pat into a bread pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, until beginning to brown around the edges. Don't overbake - err on the side of less baked.


Excellent with vanilla ice cream.
