Happy National Blond Brownie Day!
Let’s celebrate with a blondie in cupcake form:
These blondies were everything you’d expect them to be – dense and chewy, with that unmistakable brown sugar/caramel flavor. Kind of like chocolate chip cookie dough, for lack of a better description.
Just like regular brownies, these are infinitely adaptable – I threw in a mix of chocolate chips, coconut, and marshmallows – but you are only limited by your imagination (or what you have in the pantry).
The only issue I had was with the paper liners – the cupcakes stuck to the paper! Next time, I will just grease the pan instead of bothering with the paper, and I’ve reflected that change in the directions.
Blondie Cupcakes – adapted from Martha Stewart
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup plus 1 tbs. butter, unsalted room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Handful miniature marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a standard muffin pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined. Stir in the flour, then add the chips, coconut and marshmallows.
Divide the batter evenly amongst the greased pan, and bake until cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean – about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Yield – 12 cupcakes
Oh those look good! Love the addition of coconut. I’m a fan of paper-free cupcakes and muffins, even though there are a lot of cute papers out there.
What an adorable cake! Iām so impressed.
YUM YUM YUM! I made some similar to this a while back and they are absolutely delicious, I think! Love this blog and everything brownie related!!
These were delicious! I used silicone cupcake liners for mine – they work great š
This looks like a great recipe. I love blondie recipes but oddly enough I have never actually made one. I always wait for other people to make them. This is actually one I just may consider making. The fact that it looks like a muffin means I can eat it for breakfast right? š
those look wicked tasty.. what if the paper cups are lighty sprayed with an oil ? maybe veggie or light olive ? i’m not a believer of canola oil. cheers
