ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3⁄4 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 1⁄2 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 cup crushed pineapple (8 ounce can, drained and pressed to remove as much juice as possible)
directions
- Preheat oven the 350°F.
- Spray a 9x-inch13 pan with cooking spray (and line with parchment paper if you want to remove the blondies to cut into circles).
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir. Blend in the flour mixture, then add the coconut, nuts, pineapple, and white chocolate. Do not over mix or the blondies will be tough. Pour into the pan.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Do not over bake. Cool before cooking.
- F.Y.I-I used cashews instead of the macadamia nuts and a round cookie cutter to replicate the Blondies on the show!
