Chewy Oatmeal Blondies (Using Everyday Baking Mix)
"From Everyday Food, April 2008. This uses the Everyday Baking Mix recipe, which I have posted separately."
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
16
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 1⁄2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1⁄2 cups everyday baking mix, spooned and leveled
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (not quick-cooking)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Brush an 8-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, and beat until combined.
- With mixer on low, gradually add Baking Mix; mix just until combined.
- Mix in 3/4 cup oats.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Using an offset metal spatula or table knife, smooth batter evenly.
- Sprinkle with remaining oats, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Let cool in pan 30 minutes.
- Using overhang, transfer blondie (still on paper) to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place on a cutting board (peel off paper); using a serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

There was nothing "chewy" about this Blondie. In fact it was very dry and crumbly. I was careful to not overbake, so the dryness was surprising. I used store-bought baking mix. Maybe that was the reason. One star because it was easy to put together.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
