Almond Croissant Blondie

• temps total: 42 minutes

Ingrédients

With four layers of frangipane and an almond blondie base, these might be a new favorite all time bake (and I think they’ll be yours too). I used @RisingStarBaking organic vanilla bean paste for smooth vanilla notes.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, Rising a star Vanilla Bean Paste, and almond extract.

Stir in both flours, baking powder, and salt.

In your 8x8 pan, Layer 1/2 base dough, 1/2 frangipane, other half base dough, then rest of frangipane to top. Sprinkle on sliced almonds.

Bake 40-45 minutes until almonds are toasted and toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Let cool completely then sprinkle with flakey sea salt and dust on powdered sugar.
