Ingredients
  

Masala Chai Blondies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 227 g or 2 sticks
  • 1 cup brown sugar 200 g, light or dark
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp clove powder
  • 1 bag black tea 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour 240 g
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped 227 grams
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream 80 mL
  • pinch cinnamon optional, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • Start by preparing the white chocolate ganache frosting. Heat the heavy cream in a pan or a microwave-safe bowl until hot.
  • Add the chopped white chocolate and mix until melted into the cream. Reheat the mixture in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals if needed.
  • Once the white chocolate has completely melted, let the mixture cool a little, then refrigerate to cool completely.

Masala Chai Blondies

  • Prepare a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan by greasing it with oil or butter, then lining it with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
  • Then, add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  • Next, sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix into the batter just until combined, without over-mixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick poked into blondie comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 15-30 minutes, then remove it and transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frost the Masala Chai Blondies

  • Remove the white chocolate ganache frosting from the fridge to warm up slightly closer to room temperature.
  • Whip the frosting using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Frost the cooled blondies with the whipped white chocolate ganache.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon to finish if desired.
  • Slice the blondies into 12-16 equal squares and serve.
