This is one of my favorite recipes that my mom made growing up: Swedish Brownies...
I have such a thing for the amazing flavor of almond extract that is prominent in these brownies (or should I call them blondies)? This recipe is so easy and as my BF Danielle says "I just kept walking over to the pan and taking a little more and then walking back and taking a little more". :) Well said, D. I do the same thing!

for someone who mainly only likes desserts with chocolate these are crazy good!!!
ReplyDeleteSwedish Brownies are the bomb. Almond extract is an under-used fab ingredient!
ReplyDeleteYummmm....
I just posted a Blondie recipe and these are similar, but the texture looks quite different. I'm sure the almond extract adds a distinct flavor as well. I have to try them! :-)
ReplyDeleteA friend pinned this recipe, and I had to come read the post. As a Swedish American, I love finding new and interesting recipes. If you like these brownies, I predict you'll also love the traditional Swedish Almond Cake. The recipe comes with the pan.

I have two of the regular pans and they work just fine with a little Pam sprayed in them.
These are my new favorite treat!! Thank you so much for posting!!
ReplyDeleteyou are very welcome... they aren't healthy but they are delish. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! Just found this on Pinterest and can't wait to try!! I love almond also... It was the flavor of my wedding cake. It has a taste of sophistication. :-)
