Sweet potato, pumpkin and carrot blondies
American 15 Mins Prep
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 20cm square baking tin.
- Place the sweet potato and pumpkin in the oven and roast until soft – approx. 30 minutes. Roast the macadamia nuts on a baking sheet in the oven for 3-4 minutes until golden. Chop and set aside. Peel and grate the carrots and set aside.
- Place the butter (or salted butter) in a large saucepan and simmer until golden and brown. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Stir in the sugar, egg (or 1 large egg) and vanilla extract then add the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Remove the sweet potato and pumpkin from the oven. Mash the pumpkin roughly and add the grated carrots to the blondie mixture along with ¾ of the macadamia nuts. Pour into the prepared baking tin.
- Mash the sweet potato and combine it with the condensed milk (vegan or regular) and spices and pour over the blondie batter. Sprinkle over the remaining macadamia nuts.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the centre reaches 96°C on a thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
