Are you getting tired of the more classic Christmas treats? Well, I love classical flavours like saffron and ginger bread spices, but I’d like to enjoy them in different ways than the most traditional. Hence, the creation of these ultra delicious, decadent tasting Saffron Blondies. *mouth drooling* What i also like a little bit extra with this recipe is that it uses saffron, a very traditional spice in Swedish Christmas treats, which makes the recipe remind you of classic Saffron buns. Unlike saffron buns, these do not require any yeast, proofing, kneading or other more or less complicated steps. Simply pop all the ingredients into a food processor, bake, cut up, and enjoy. By saving time, you can stress less, enjoy the food more, but especially cherish and enjoy your company. Mind the reason behind the season, guys.
Anyhow, I’ll keep this short as I have a tendency to ramble a tad too much. In summary, these are delicious, decadent tasting, yet super easy and filled with nourishing ingredients.
Enjoy!
