Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13” glass or ceramic baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to slightly overhang opposite edges. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling often, until fragrant and starting to brown (4-5 minutes). Remove from heat. Whisk in brown sugar. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter mixture until well combined. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, gently folding until just combined. Reserve 2 tablespoon of each Add-In. Fold the rest into the batter. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved Add-Ins on top.
- Bake the blondies until light brown around the edges (18-22 minutes). They will appear slightly under-baked in the center, but will firm up as they cool. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 bars.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9”x13” glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Combine peaches, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and pinch of salt in a large bowl. Transfer to the baking dish. Drizzle with bourbon or vanilla. Tightly cover with foil and bake until the fruit is steaming. About 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the other flours, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and rub with your fingers or use a pastry cutter until the pieces are smaller in size, but visible.
- When the peaches are steaming, add buttermilk over the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Dollop the topping on top of the hot fruit. Lightly brush the dough with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving. Great with vanilla ice cream!
Recipe Notes
*Baker’s note: I recommend sprouted sorghum flour for a gluten-free version to get the same taste profile as sprouted wheat flour.
