1½ cups oil
6 eggs
1½ cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla sugar
2 cups potato starch
1½ cup ground almonds
1 (10 oz) bag chocolate chips (I like to use mini chips)

Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 9x13 pans with parchment and set aside.

Combine oil, eggs and sugars. Gradually add potato starch and almonds.

Divide batter between the 2 pans. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips.

Bake for 55 minutes to an hour. When cooled cut into squares.

Note: I've made the standard blondie recipe (similar to this, half the ingredients, a little less brown sugar) for many years, and this one came out much, much better. I used hazelnut oil in which I think helped.

Yes, cup, sorry. I'll correct it.

I made them with ground walnuts instead of almonds and theyre yum!!!!!!!

Mine seemed ready in way less than 40 minutes. Trying another batch soon.

Thanks OOTB!!!! Have a great Yom Tov!

Does anyone know who submitted the Blondies and Ninas Biscuits recipe to Ami?

Theyre both amazing. I used to buy store bought cakes and cookies. These outdid store-bought.

An update -- my original batch which was fantastic was made with hazelnut oil.

Today I made another batch this time with safflower oil (as the hazelnut oil was finished) and while it was still very good, it was not as good as the first batch.

I highly recommend use of hazelnut oil in this recipe.

The only real substitute for brown sugar is molasses. 2 T added to 1 C white sugar but if you don't use molasses, then try it with regular sugar and see how it comes out. Maybe halve the recipe to try it out.

I think the brown sugar is critical in this recipe -- it provides much of the taste and texture.

I think they'll be okay with extra light (mild) olive oil, but I think regular would give too strong a taste.

I'm just bumping this recipe for anyone that needs to use up their ground nuts from pesach (like yours truly!) They were staring at me in the freezer for the past 2 months making me crazy. so I decided to just use them on this!

I replaced the potato starch with the same amount of white whole wheat flour. It came out perfect!

I think this is the recipe I made for Pesach which was a BIG hit. Definitely a keeper.

OOTBubby -
Ground almonds or almond flour in this recipe (and is there a difference?)

Also, which would you advise: coconut oil or safflower oil. I couldn't find hazelnut this year Sad

Alternatively, did you see hazelnut oil in any Chicago stores this year?

Is this recipe more like a cake or Blondies? I tried another blondie recipe from a book and it was more like a chocolate chip cake than blondies.

I made this recipe before Shabbat. It is definitely more of a blondie, not a cake, probably because there is no baking powder in it. I've seen versions of this recipe with baking powder and that probably produces a higher, more cakey result. The blondies came out good - but they are very, very sweet. There is so much sugar in the recipe that some if it sank to the bottom of the pan and formed a thin, brittle layer. I think this might have happened because the brown sugar here in Israel is very heavy and course and I might have needed to beat it for longer with the eggs before adding the other ingredients. In any case I recommend reducing the sugar by at least half a cup. BTW I used hazelnut oil as OOTBubby suggested. I love it for baking. I also used ground almonds, not almond flour.

I use ground almonds. I bought hazelnut oil in Hungarian -- only place I saw it. I wouldn't use coconut oil -- too strong tasting. If I didn't have hazelnut, I would use safflower.
