Bake Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Blondies with Natural Ingredients
Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Blondies
With healthier and natural ingredients.
First of all, let me start by saying that I am not great at baking. I think it comes back to me being dyslexic and having to be precise with the measurements of each ingredient. My first experience making this recipe was a testament to my horrible baking skills, when I accidentally added 1/4 cup of baking soda instead of 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Have you ever tasted a cookie made with 1/4 cup of baking soda? No? Well, I really don't suggest it. It took ten swigs of soda water, a handful of almonds, and non-stop laughing watching my husband have the exact same reaction as he took his first bite to rid myself of that awful taste. I am laughing now just thinking of it.
Even though I was defeated by baking soda the first time around, I refused to surrender! I tried this recipe again the next night, making sure to double and triple check the amount of baking soda. I have never baked with these types of ingredients before and I honestly can't believe how delicious this dessert was. Bradford ate nearly the entire dish and it was nice knowing that this treat is made with healthy and natural ingredients. Hope you love it as much as we do.
