Campfire Blondie Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Campfire

   Start by preparing your campfire, allowing it to burn down until you have a good bed of hot coals.

2. 2

   Melt Butter

   In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter. If you’re at a campsite, you can do this in a pot over the fire.

3. 3

   Mix Sugars

   Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, stirring until well combined.

4. 4

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth.

5. 5

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. 6

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

7. 7

   Fold in Mix-ins

   Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.

   Prepare Cooking Setup

   Line a cast-iron skillet or a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

   Cook Over Coals

   Place the skillet or pan over the hot coals of the campfire. Cover with a lid or more foil and cook for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
