Ingredients:
- 200g white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup dried culinary lavender
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup hazelnuts, chopped and toasted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the lavender and sugar. Pour the melted chocolate/butter mixture over the lavender sugar and stir well to combine. This will help infuse the lavender flavor into the mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add this to the chocolate-lavender mix, stirring well to combine.
- Slowly mix in the flour and salt, making sure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stir in ¾ of the chopped and toasted hazelnuts, reserving some for topping after baking.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining hazelnuts on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Once cool, remove from the pan and cut into your desired size.
- Enjoy your White Chocolate Lavender Brownies with a Hazelnut Crunch with a cup of your favorite hot beverage, or as a standalone treat.
