Better for You Blondies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup margarine (or butter)
• 10 ounces white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking, plus
• 2 tablespoons Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking (or 3/4 cup sugar or equivalent)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 eggs

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F

2. 2

   Grease and flour a 13x9 baking pan.

3. 3

   To make it easier to lift the squares out of the pan, I line the pan with aluminum foil then lift the foil out to lift out the cut squares.

4. 4

   In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter and baking chips over low heat stirring frequently until just melted. (May appear lumpy or curdled).

5. 5

   While chips and butter/margarine are melting, I sift the dry ingredients together as the almond meal tends to clump together.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and let cool.

7. 7

   Stir in remaining ingredients until well blended.

8. 8

   Spread evening in pan.

9. 9

   Bake 30 to 35 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

10. 10

    Cut into 4 rows by 6-8 rows.
