The Sweet Kitchen: Salted Caramel Blondies- a healthier version

 Salted Caramel is my new obsession. I love salted caramel coffee syrup in my coffee of course sugar free. I bought some salted caramel sugar on vacation to try, and I thought this would be a good way to try it. I made a healthier version using sugar alternatives and white whole wheat flour. They are good like this but would of course be so much better with all the full sugar and white flour. If you decide to try it the normal way let me know what you think? This is basically the Nestle Toll House cookie recipe with some additions and made into blondies instead of individual cookies. I think I will need to try these the regular way another time to see how they compare. 

The ingredients:

2 1/4 C white whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 C (2 sticks) butter softened
3/4 C granulated sugar (I used 1/2C truvia sugar blend)
3/4 C brown sugar (I used 3/4 C coconut sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract (I used vanilla powder by extract had expired)
2 large eggs
2 C salted caramel Lillys baking chips 
1 pump of salted caramel syrup
sprinkle of salted caramel sugar


The recipe:

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl.
Beat butter, sugars, and vanilla in large bowl until creamy.
Add in eggs 1 at a time and beat in between, then add the pump of salted caramel syrup and combine well. 
Gradually beat in flour mixture. 
Stir in baking chips.
Spray 9x13 pan with spray and spread batter into pan and spread until even. 
Sprinkle the top with the salted caramel sugar.
Bake for approximately 20-23 minutes until golden brown. 
 Cool then cut into bars.
