My two teenage girls wanted to bake something and I had this recipe sitting in my binder in the ‘to try’ section. I gave them the recipe and they made the whole wheat blondies on their own. The best part about these whole wheat blondies is that they taste great, but are healthier than traditional blondies because they are made from white whole-wheat flour and use vegetable oil to partially replace butter.
These blondies are yummy, without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup brown sugar – packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs – lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour – (6.75 oz/191 grams)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp toffee bits or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, or grease and flour baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bring butter, oil and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan.

- In another mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
- Stir toffee bits or chocolate chips and flour mixture into butter mixture until combined.
- Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
