An old housemate of mine used to rave about them but I must admit I have never made them myself. So on an extremely cold afternoon when a trip to the supermarket seems like far too much effort and a baking-based break from school work is all I need, a slightly sparse cupboard led me to blondies. The recipe itself couldn't be much easier, I have based mine on the one by smittenkitten and adapted it to suit my cupboard contents.
Finally, due to a lack of hindsight, I did not have a suitable square baking tin and baked them in cupcake wrappers instead. So reduced the cooking time slightly to ensure they still had the yummy, squishy interior of a good brownie.
Begin by melting 115 grams of butter on a low heating before removing from the hob and mix in 220 grams of light brown muscodvado sugar.
Next, beat in a large organic egg and a splash of vanilla extract before adding 125 grams of flour (whatever you have) and a pince of salt.
Now, you can bake them just like this or add some extra bits. I went for banana and nutella but anything goes. I simply mixed in a small, very ripe mashed banana and a big tablespoon of nutella, try to make sure you don't over mix the nutella and try and leave it a little marbled.
