Coffee Almond Chocolate Blondies

These Coffee Almond Chocolate Blondies are the ultimate indulgence for coffee and chocolate lovers. Unlike traditional blondies, these feature a deep, roasted flavor profile thanks to instant espresso powder and a splash of coffee liqueur. The base is buttery and dense, providing a satisfying chew that contrasts beautifully with the crunch of sliced almonds and the melty richness of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are incredibly moist, with a subtle bitterness from the coffee that balances the sweetness of the brown sugar. Perfect for afternoon treats, potluck desserts, or an after-dinner square served with a cup of tea. Easy to mix up and bake, they store well in an airtight container, making them a convenient snack for busy days.

Ingredients

2 cup Brown sugar; firmly packed
3/4 cup Unsalted butter
3 tablespoon Coffee liqueur
5 teaspoon Instant espresso
3 Eggs
2 cup Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Blanched almonds, sliced &
6 oz Semisweet chocolate chips; coarsely chopped

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;Â°F (175ÃÂ°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2
In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is fully dissolved.
3
Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk in the coffee liqueur and instant espresso powder until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
4
Whisk the eggs into the cooled sugar-butter mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to remove any lumps.
6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the flour disappears; do not overmix.
7
Fold in the sliced almonds and coarsely chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
9
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
10
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.
