I’ve always wanted to try bacon
in baking but I was always a little scared. Then I thought, well, I get maple
syrup on my bacon when I have it with pancakes, so I already know I liked the
sweet with the salty. Let me tell you, it was honestly one of the best desserts
I’ve ever had. The sweet bacon is a great contrast and tastes fantastic. I
promise this recipe won’t disappoint.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
(2 sticks), melted
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 cups all purpose flower
6 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 cups all purpose flower
6 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled
Directions:
Preheat the
oven to 350°F.
In a large
bowl, mix together the melted butter and the brown sugar until the mixture is
smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla.
In another
bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and the mix it into the sugar/butter
bowl. Add in the bacon.
Spread the
batter into a 9×13 pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the knife
comes out clean when stuck into the center.
While that’s
baking, you can make the peanut butter icing. Here is the recipe for that:
Peanut Butter Icing
1 stick
butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 – 2 cups powdered sugar (start with 1 cup and taste it, if it’s not sweet enough add more)
1 tsp vanilla
2 – 3 tbsps milk
6 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 – 2 cups powdered sugar (start with 1 cup and taste it, if it’s not sweet enough add more)
1 tsp vanilla
2 – 3 tbsps milk
6 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled
Using an
electric mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Add the sugar in
gradually. Add in the vanilla. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until
the icing is the consistency that you want.
When the
blondies are completely cooled, top them with the icing and then the crumbled
bacon. Then, cut into bars and enjoy!
