Baking has long been associated with rainy day activities, which this pina colada blondies recipe would be perfect for. Created by Katie at the food blog Butterlust, the cocktail-inspired square introduces island-esque ingredients to the vanilla brownies.
In addition to the traditional brown sugar and vanilla extract used in a blondies recipe, this one also calls for rum, dried pineapple slices, sweetened shredded coconut, macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips for a dessert Jimmy Buffet would love.
Anyone with half a brain could make this simple and sweet treat, which is perfect for warm weather (or pretending it's summer in colder climates). Despite the addition of fruit, this is likely not a snack for the extremely health-conscious or yoga practitioners.
