After a few minutes I took a look at her Middle Still gooey. I called it “experimental.” My family called it “revenge of the sugar.” We laughed. We still ate them. No regrets.

There’s just something about that coffee-caramel combo, though. Like a hug and a kick in the pants at the same time. These blondies are chewy, melty in the middle, with that rich coffee hit that makes you go, “Whoa, okay. One more.”

Have you ever baked something that smelled so good, neighbors just “happened to stop by” True story. Happened last Sunday. I think my blondies have a fan club now.

Oh, and don’t worry this version’s been tested several late nights, lots of coffee. No judgment if you hide the last piece.

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules or espresso powder
  • 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies, chopped into small pieces
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for topping

How to Make Coffee Caramel Blondies

Step 1

The first step is to preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.

Step 2

The second thing we need is a large bowl. In this large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is the base that makes your blondie cakes sweet and fluffy and Add the eggs and vanilla to the sugar mixture and stir until everything is combined. The eggs help hold the blondies together.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules. This dry mixture will add texture and a distinct coffee flavor to the blondie cakes. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Don’t overmix! This keeps the blondie cakes soft. Gently fold in the caramel pieces to distribute them evenly throughout the batter. Now, pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt on top to balance the sweetness.
