Egg Nog Blondies

My first Holiday recipe in the books for 2015. Egg Nog Blondies!!!! To be honest I have never been a big fan of Egg Nog. I do not like the texture and thickness while drinking it. Although I do love the flavor. So I decided to try something new and create this dessert. And it has absolutely zero Egg Nog in it. HA!

Ingredients

• 3/4 Cup White Chocolate Baking Chips
• 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
• 4 TSP Brandy Extract
• 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk, Room Temperature
• 2/3 Cup Cane Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Muscle Egg Vanilla Egg Whites, Room Temperature
• 1 Cup Pureed Cannellini Beans (I used 2 cans of beans with some remaining)
• 3 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein)
• 1 TSP Ground Cinnamon
• 1 TSP Nutmeg

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In the microwave, melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl and set aside to cool. Do not overheat chocolate as it will scorch it. I would heat 10-15 seconds at a time and stir until chocolate is melted. Once chocolate and oil has cooled, add in the brandy extract, egg whites, and coconut milk. Beat until mixed.

In a separate bowl, add pureed cannellini beans, protein powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir with spoon until mixed. 
Add in the liquid ingredients and beat with a mixer until smooth.

Baking times will vary depending on what type of pan. I used a mini bread loaf pan which had 8 loaves. The recipe made 14 mini blondies. I baked them 35-40 minutes or until the sides were starting to turn a light brown. Each blondie had about 1/4 cup of batter.

*Optional Topping: 

• 1/4 Cup Trader Joes Cookie Butter
• 2 TSP Wilton Sugar Pearls Sprinkles

(Melt cookie butter in microwave and drizzle on top of blondies. Then sprinkle with sugar pearls. Let cool so cookie butter will firm up.)
