These do not taste the same as full-fat blondies (not as caramel-ly), but they are delicious in their own way. You can't actually tell that they are a lower-fat recipe. I am very pleased with the nutrition facts on these, although I used 1 egg and 1 egg white. Update: Here's a Fall twist: replace 3 Tbsp. butter with 5 Tbsp peanut butter, and finely chop 1 apple into batter. Yum!
