Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe
A heavenly Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe, kissed with cashews and little morsels of salted caramel. Just what you need to satisfy your “salted caramel” cravings.
Well I’m back in my kitchen and enjoying all the wonderful elements of the remodel. (Which I’ll share with you all next week!)
It’s so nice to cook and bake again. You never really appreciate how much you love something until you’ve had to take a break from it for a while.
Being forced out of my kitchen for a fews weeks has caused me to really think through what it is I love about preparing food.
Cooking for me is not a chore or daily requirement for sustenance. It’s relaxing.
Cooking allows me to take my focus off daily drama and participate in something that effects all the senses in a powerful and healing way. To put my hands on wholesome ingredients birthed from the earth. To breath in the aromas of nature.
Cooking allows me to use my creative energy for the sake of others. To feed people I love and bring a smile, and a little comfort, to their day.
Cooking provides a lasting connection from where we’ve come from, and where we’re going.
Cooking inspires passion and personal connection, in a world of instant messages and emoticons.
I love to cook. …And I love to BAKE!
We christened the new oven with this Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe. They are rich, moist, and slightly tangy from the addition of plain yogurt.
The hint of tang, balances the intensity of the decedent caramel bits spotted throughout. Buttery cashews and a generous sprinkling of sea salt take my blondies recipe to the upper echelon of sugary bliss.
The aroma if this Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe, alone, will refresh your love for cooking. (And baking!)
Our Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe is just the thing to share with friends this weekend. Share the love through blondies.
Salted Caramel Cashew Blondies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain California yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 11 ounces Kraft Caramel Bits
- 3/4 cup raw whole cashews
- Celtic Coarse Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-sticking cooking spray and line the bottom with a parchment paper square.
- Drain the yogurt and add to a large bowl. Mix in both sugars until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix in quickly. Then add the eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Mix to combine. Finally mix in the flour until smooth.
- Fold 2/3 of the caramel bits into the mixture. Then pour into the baking dish and smooth. Sprinkle the remaining caramel bits and the cashews over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 35-50 minutes. Check the center at 35 minutes, with a tooth pick. If the center is puffed high and the toothpick comes out clean, remove from the oven. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt immediately, so the salt will stick!
- Cool in the baking dish. Once cool, gently turn the whole sheet of blondies out of the dish to make them easier to cut.

Thanks for linking to my Caramel Pretzel Blondies and these, Sommer, look so good! Normally I don’t go for nuts in my desserts but I would make an exception for these babies!
What a great idea to use cashews in a dessert bar…I love it!
Love the combination of cashews and caramel!
I love salted caramel, I love cashews! This looks perfect :)
I can’t wait to see how the new kitchen looks! Until then I’ll be dreaming of these beauties.
Congrats on being back in your kitchen! What a gorgeous recipe to start out with! xo
Your blondies look delicious! I love the idea of putting yogurt in them and of course the salted caramel!
I love blondies! Adding caramel always makes them even better. I also find cooking and baking to be very relaxing. That along with the fact that I pretty much never eat out have kept me from redoing my kitchen. Maybe one day!
I was sold at salted caramel. Everything after that I just nodded along with as I drooled all over the keyboard. Gorgeous, Sommer!
Ohmahgah!! The addition of cashews takes these blondies to a whoooole other level!
You just gave the craving for sure!!
I am excited to see what you did with your kitchen. I am sure it looks beautiful! And these blondies are the perfect recipe to share the love through baking.
I love the sweet-salty combination in these beautiful bars! Have a great weekend, Sommer!
These look seriously good and I love that you used cashews…genius :)
