Oreo Blondies

 

Oreo desserts seem to be a favourite with a  lot of people I know.  In my home oreo is a staple inside the snack cupboard in the kitchen.  I wondered if I could add the oreo to a cake and after searching around I saw a few recipes where Oreo was added to brownies. But I didn't want to add it to brownies but I wanted to use it in blondies, which is like the "white" version of the brownie. Am I going to get in trouble over this now? 

Anyway, I used the blondie recipe from Gordon Ramsey's    Ultimate Cookery course book and added a pack of broken Oreos to it. The result is this chewy delicious goodness. It is quite easy to make and the only tricky part is melting the butter and the sugar together. My advice would be to keep the butter outside for a few minutes to bring it to room temperature so it melts quickly.

Yield: about 9- 10 pieces

Oreo Blondies

Ingredients

• 170g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 250g sugar
• tiny pinch of salt
• 2 small eggs ( I used white eggs)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence (depends on how strong the essence is)
• 210g plain flour, sifted
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8  tsp ( pinch) bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
• 1 packet Oreos ( regular packet)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, over low heat. along with butter, once it melts stir in the sugar and whisk, constantly to mix the sugar into the butter.  Add a tiny pinch of salt. 
2. Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a separate bowl. Set aside.
3. Mix Vanilla into the butter mixture, then pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
4. Now to keep the bowl stable you can keep the bowl on a kitchen towel.
5. Whisk in one egg, remember the mixture is still hot, so whisk while adding the egg.
6. Then add a few tablespoons from the flour mixture into this mixture, and mix well.
7. Then whisk in another egg, then mix the remaining flour mixture. Let the mixture cool a little, about 5- 8 minutes. Otherwise, the oreo pieces will melt into the batter.
8. Break the Oreos into chunky pieces, and gently fold them into the mixture.
9. Preheat the oven to 180 Degrees C.
10. Butter and line an 8x8 inch square tin. Pour the mixture into the tin and smooth the top.
11. Pop this into the hot oven and bake on the middle shelf for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is crusty.
12. Cool in the tin.
13. Cut into squares and enjoy!
