Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, pieces or chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric hand mixer. When fluffy, add the brown sugar and beat them together for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and combine well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the brown sugar mixture and combine until just incorporated. Fold in the cream cheese. Gently stir in the hazelnuts, coconut and chocolate and spread the batter into a lightly greased 8 by 8-inch glass pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and sides just start to pull away from the edge of the pan, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes before cutting.

Yum!! I didn't have hazlenuts so I use some chopped pecans and also added some cinnamon and nutmeg. Loved the coconut in them as well.

I made this recipe subbing in light cream cheese, enjoy life allergen-friendly chocolate chips, unsweetened organic shredded coconut and cashews. Did require about 35 minutes all day to finish baking. No big deal. Very light, fluffy, lightly sweetened to perfection and the cashews only add to the butteriness of this cakey blondie. You could totally cut these into 1"X1" squares and finish with chocolate OR melted butterscotch chips. Yeah!

I got the recipe from FN magazine and it was printed differently there also. It called for more bake time. The 35 minutes stated was exact. Also, it called for the cream cheese to be creamed with the butter at the beginning of the recipe. I really liked these and may actually prefer them to regular brownies. I think if FN got the recipe printed correctly for all sources, most would be more than satisfied with the results.
