INGREDIENTS

- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 oz bar semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set it aside.

- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.

- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth. Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract and whisk to incorporate. Then whisk in the slightly cooled melted butter until the mixture is smooth.

- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until the batter is just combined with a few dry streaks remaining. There is no need to overmix.

- Cut the chocolate bar into irregular pieces. Add the pieces of cut chocolate, leaving behind the powdery small bits. Pour in the chocolate chips and fold the chocolate into the batter.

- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until the blondies are golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean, 25-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

From my farm to your home. 🏡

A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.

So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

Hi Kaleb, speaking of vanilla, Ethan Chlebowski recently did a video with blind tastings and asked the question: is the price of real vanilla beans actually worth it? The takeaway was twofold and yes, vanilla is absolutely essential to the flavor of a baked product. In terms of providing the "aromatic lift" to baked products, then no, real vanilla beans are not essential and imitation vanilla provides the same background flavors. A $10-12 bottle of vanilla extract (not imitation) is what Ethan prefers for other products where the vanilla is front and center, like frostings and custards. Interesting!
