Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan and line with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up the sides for easy removal.
Melt the butter and brown sugar in a medium heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat, stir in coffee, and let cool. Add egg and vanilla, whisk till combined. Fold in flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Transfer to prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 20 - 22 minutes. Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate.
Make the glaze: In a clean bowl, whisk confectioner's sugar and coffee to achieve a thick yet pourable glaze.
Using parchment paper, transfer the blondie to a cutting board. Cut into 24 squares, drizzle with glaze, and let set before serving.
To freeze, ensure the glaze is completely dry. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to one month. Defrost in a single layer to maintain the appearance of the glaze.
How do I store leftover mocha chip blondies with coffee glaze?
To store leftover mocha chip blondies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For extended storage, consider freezing the blondies; wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and they can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Can I make mocha chip blondies without eggs for a vegan option?
Yes, you can make mocha chip blondies without eggs by using a flaxseed meal or chia seed substitute. To replace one egg, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens, and then add it to your batter. This will help maintain the texture while keeping the recipe vegan-friendly.
What can I use instead of milk chocolate chips in mocha chip blondies?
If you prefer a different flavor or need a substitution, you can use dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips in your mocha chip blondies. You can also use chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
What is the best way to pair mocha chip blondies with coffee glaze?
Mocha chip blondies pair wonderfully with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or espresso, enhancing the coffee flavors in the dessert. For a sweeter pairing, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to balance the richness of the blondies.
How do I know when my mocha chip blondies are done baking?
To check if your mocha chip blondies are done baking, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter, they are ready. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so avoid overbaking for the best chewy texture.
