These blondies are warm, buttery, and familiar, with a subtle lift from Goddess Gray tea. The citrus and floral notes from the tea balance the richness of brown sugar and chocolate, creating a dessert that feels cozy but not heavy.
They’re easy to make, easy to love, and perfect for pairing with a cup of tea.
Why Goddess Gray Works Here
Goddess Gray brings gentle citrus and floral notes that soften the sweetness of chocolate chips without competing with them. When infused into butter, the tea adds depth rather than obvious tea flavor, making these blondies feel a little more thoughtful than a standard bake.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Full Moon Tea Company Goddess Gray tea
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ to 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
How to Make Them
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter gently in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add the Goddess Gray tea.
- Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain out the tea leaves.
- Whisk the infused butter with brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Let cool before slicing.
Baking Notes
Do not overbake. Blondies should be soft and chewy in the center.
For deeper citrus aroma, add a small pinch of finely ground Goddess Gray tea to the batter.
These blondies store well at room temperature for two days or refrigerated for up to five days.
When to Serve Them
These blondies are perfect for afternoon tea, casual gatherings, or cozy nights in. They’re especially good slightly warm, when the chocolate is still soft and the tea notes are most aromatic.
Comforting, classic, and just a little elevated.
