Who doesn’t love a delicious and incredibly easy dessert? The better question is, who doesn’t love blondies? Their taste and texture is similar to chewy chocolate chip cookies, with all the butter and brown sugar they contain they may even have you thinking of caramel, and for the rare occasion when you just aren’t in the mood for chocolate – what comes next? Vanilla.
I wanted to create a blondie that didn’t leave you wondering what the standout flavor was supposed to be so I made these as titled, Triple Vanilla Blondies, with vanilla flavor coming from three sources. They are layered with those incredible little vanilla bean seeds that pack a lot of sweet, natural flavor, along with a generous amount of vanilla extract (considering there is only 1 cup of flour), and they are finished of by folding in plenty of vanilla chips. These bars are dreamy. Hide them. Don’t let anyone know you made them. Fan out the kitchen and cover up their delightful brown sugar and vanilla scent, then serve everyone else some bakery item you picked up from the local grocer. No one needs to know and if they are on to you, just tell them they’ll have to make their own and things this good don’t come for free =). Enjoy! P.S. if you want to really indulge, serve these warm with vanilla bean ice cream (for even more vanilla flavor) and caramel sauce.
