Ingredient Substitution Guide

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vanilla and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and pour the mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

Bake until the center is set; begin checking for doneness at 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove to the rack and cool completely.

Step 4

Use an electric mixer to beat together the confectioners’ sugar, butter, cocoa powder, heavy cream, vanilla and salt.

Step 5

Spread the frosting on the blondies, top with sprinkles (if desired) and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
