Almond Frangipane Blondies
If brown sugar Blondies got together with Almond Croissants and had a baby, this delicious Almond Frangipane Blondie bar would be the result! What you have here is a delicious, dense, chewy blondie with an incredibly moreish and buttery rich almond topping.
I love Blondies, probably even more than I love Brownies. I also adore almond frangipane, which is the creamy filling you will find tucked into French Almond Croissants. Putting the two things together, in my opinion, is pure and absolute genius!
- 3/4 cup (170g) butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) soft light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large free range egg, plus 1 large free range egg yolk
- 1 TBS pure vanilla
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- scant tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups (175g) plain all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) ground almonds (almond flour)
- large handful of sliced almonds to top (optional)
- 4 TBS (57g) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- 1 large free range egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2/3 cup (66g) ground almonds (almond flour)
- pinch of salt
Are you a fan of the Blondie? I think I like Blondies better than I like Brownies. Here are a couple more of my favorite Blondie Recipes!
PERFECT BLONDIES - Seeing the title you might think it is a bit bold of me to call this bar perfect, but once you bake them you will agree. These are the PERFECT Blondie bar. Dense and fudgy with a deep caramel flavor, that delicious combination of butter, brown sugar, butter and vanilla. These have the texture of your favorite brownie, combined with the taste of your favorite chocolate chip cookie. Amazingly tasty!
GINGERBREAD BLONDIES - The smell when these are baking is pure and utter bliss . . . decadently gorgeously divinely gingerbready. The consistency of them when baked . . . and still warm . . . wonderfully moist and incredibly fudgy, just like you want in a good blondie. Super moist, gently spiced and rich with butterscotch and caramel flavors. In other words, incredibly scrummy yummy. If you like gingerbread you will fall in love with these delicious bars.
Almond Frangipane Blondies
- 3/4 cup (170g) butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) soft light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large free range egg, plus 1 large free range egg yolk
- 1 TBS pure vanilla
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- scant tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups (175g) plain all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) ground almonds (almond flour)
- large handful of sliced almonds to top (optional)
- 4 TBS (57g) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- 1 large free range egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2/3 cup (66g) ground almonds (almond flour)
- pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/ gas mark 4. Butter an 8 inch square baking dish and line it with baking paper, leaving an overhang to lift it out.
- Make the frangipane topping first. Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until well combined. Whisk in the egg and both extracts to combine.
- Whisk in the almonds and salt, mixing everything together well. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together thoroughly. Stir in the egg and egg yolk to combine well together. Whisk in both extracts, the baking powder and salt.
- Stir in the flour and almond flour, combining all well together.
- Spread the flour mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Top with the frangipane layer, again spreading it out evenly. (This worked best by dropping dollops of it evenly over top and then spreading it out with the back of a metal spoon.)
- Sprinkle a handful of flaked almonds evenly over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are nicely browned and starting to caramelize, and the topping is golden brown.
- Leave to cool completely in the pan, then lift out and cut into squares to serve. Store in an airtight container for up to three days, or up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
