📝 Preparation Steps
1
Blondies:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Line an 8×8 metal pan with a foil or parchment paper sling (covering the bottom and extending up on two sides) and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar for one full minute until completely combined. Add egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined. Remove the whisk from the bowl, tapping off any excess batter into the bowl.
(141g) unsalted butter (melted)10 tablespoons(213g) light brown sugar (lightly packed)1 cuplarge egg1(56g) unsalted butter (softened)4 tablespoons
4
Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, and salt over the butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir until the batter is fully combined.
5
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
6
Frangipane and topping:
7
Using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until combined, about one full minute. Add egg, almond extract, almond flour, all purpose flour and salt. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. Add the frangipane onto the top of the blondie batter. I do this by dolloping spoonfuls all over the top and then spreading into an even layer with an offset spatula.

8
Top with sliced almonds. Bake for ⏱️ 33-38 minutes*, until the center no longer jiggles, the almonds are lightly toasted, and the edges of the bars are golden brown. If the top starts to get too dark, you can loosely tent with foil. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar.
