Pairs well with the Iced Pistachio Vanilla Oat Latte!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup sesame seeds
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup tahini
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¾ cup dried apricots, finely chopped
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• Flaky salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Scatter the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes, then scrape onto a plate to cool.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Whisk in the egg, vanilla, and tahini until smooth. To a separate mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt and stir just until combined, then fold in the oats, toasted sesame seeds, and apricots. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for an hour or overnight.
4. Scoop the dough into 2 tbsp mounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each. Press a few mini marshmallows into the top of each mound so they stay visible and toast instead of disappearing into the dough. Bake until the edges are golden and the centres look set but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. While warm, finish with a tiny pinch of flaky salt. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Salted Peanut Butter & Jam Blondies

Pairs well with the VL - Iced White Chocolate & Strawberry Crushed Latte!

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ cup strawberry or raspberry jam
• Flaky salt, for finishing

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for lifting.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth. Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture looks glossy and thick, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt and fold just until you don’t see dry streaks. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Dollop the jam all over the surface, then use a butter knife to gently swirl it through the top, think ribbons, not fully blended. Bake until the edges are set and lightly golden and the centre is just set (a tester should come out with a few moist crumbs), 22 to 24 minutes.
4. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and slice. Finish with flaky salt right before serving.

Notes: Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days (bring to room temp for the best chew).
