Ingredients
1¼ cup white whole wheat flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp plain or vanilla yogurt
1 large large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup dried cherries
½ cup coarsely chopped almonds
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and yogurt until fully blended.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until well combined.
Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cherries and chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 bars and serving.
Comments
Cherry Almond Blondies clear Charlotte's major chains for every ingredient—whole wheat flour, brown sugar, almonds, and dried cherries are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, making this a single-stop shop. The 45-minute stated time is honest for mixing and baking, though factoring in cooling adds about 10 minutes if you want to cut them cleanly. At roughly $1.40 per blondie, the cost is reasonable for a dessert that delivers, driven mainly by the almonds and dried cherries; butter and brown sugar are budget items. These keep well for three days and reheat gently in a 300-degree oven, making them ideal for a weeknight bake that feeds the household through the week.
