Have I mentioned how much I love my mom. She gets me. She knows I love cooking, so for presents, she gets me cooking stuff. Two winters ago, she got me an immersible blender. I'm in love with it (sooo much nicer than a standing blender). Even my roommate loved it. Last year, she got me a Kitchenaid Mixer. She knew I had been eyeing hers for a while.
For my birthday this year, she got me a brownie pan. You know, one of those pans that's like a cupcake tin, except square, so all the brownies have edges?
Yeah. I know.
I think I'm going to request an ice cream maker (attachment) next. That might be kinda deadly for my waistline...
Flourless Peanut Butter Blondies
Modified from Detoxinista
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, egg, and baking soda until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased 8" pan (unless you have a fancy brownie pan like me. Then put a scoop of batter in each well). Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown. (Watch carefully. Once they start to brown, they get brown real fast!)
My Notes:
The chocolate chips make this dairy, but I know you can get dairy-free chocolate chips, and you can always omit them, so I'm labeling them as pareve. It's my blog, I can do what I want to.
These are better than I was expecting. I made them primarily because my friend has Celiac and I always feel bad that I make things she can't eat. So, I made her something that she could. And she liked them. They're not my favorite (I have a recipe for one with a banana base that I think I'd like a little more), but they're not bad.
