When in doubt, we all have a go-to family recipe to fall back on. In my family’s case, it’s our trusty Coffee Blondie recipe. Many years ago, we discovered the recipe in an old newspaper clipping; and since then, the finished product has been a hit at almost every party.

Today, I’m sharing the recipe with you, but with a twist. Instead of soft and gooey squares, we’ve turned them into mini cupcakes. They’re easy to pick up, are less messy, and taste just as great. Plus, they have that well-loved crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside texture. The best part? These Salted Coffee Blondie Bites come with salt on top to really contrast the sweetness.

Salted Coffee Blondie Bites Recipe

Ingredients

1 and ½ cups of All-Purpose Flour
1 and ½ tsp of Baking Powder
1 and ½ sticks of Unsalted Butter, melted
1 cup of Brown Sugar
¾ tsp of Salt
2 tbsp of Instant Coffee
1 tbsp of Hot Water
1 Egg
2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
¾ cup of Chocolate Chips
Himalayan or Rock Salt

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line your mini cupcake trays with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine your melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Meanwhile, dissolve your coffee in a small bowl with hot water. Let the mixture cool before adding it to your wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients and fold together. Add your chocolate chips and fold, but don’t over mix.
Use a small ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into your cupcake tins.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the Blondies are set on the edges and golden brown. Insert a toothpick to test. When it comes out clean, they’re ready.
Remove from the tray and let your Salted Coffee Blondie Bites cool. Sprinkle Himalayan or Rock Salt on top and enjoy.
