Equipment

  • grain mill
  • dough whisk
  • medium bowl
  • silicone spatula
  • square metal baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted; one stick
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt use 1/2 tsp for table salt
  • 120 g fresh milled soft white wheat flour approximately 1 1/4 cup
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions
 

  • Mill the wheat berries at the finest possible setting. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, add the sugar and melted butter. Whisk well to combine.
  • Add the vanilla extract and egg and whisk again.
  • Add the dry ingredients (baking powder, salt, and flour) and stir to incorporate.
  • Fold in the add-ins (I used chocolate chips and hazelnuts), then scrape the thick batter to a prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer the bars to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice with a very sharp knife, cleaning after each cut to get the neatest bars. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

For an even chewier texture, add 1 tbs honey or maple syrup.
​Allow the blondies to cool to room temperature then transfer to an airtight container and store on the counter for 2-3 days.
For a double batch, bake the bars in a 9x13 pan. It usually takes about 10 more minutes than normal (around 45-50 minutes total), but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
