• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup (43g) NutStop Yoghurt Chips
• ¼ cup (39g) dried blueberries
• ¼ cup (30g) banana chips, roughly chopped

• ¾ cup (160g) light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp salt

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" x 8" metal baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, make trail mix by mixing together yoghurt chips, blueberries, banana chips, Reese’s Pieces, peanuts, and pretzel pieces. Set trail mix aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, salt, and chia seeds until thoroughly combined.
5. Fold flour mixture into wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold trail mix into batter. Spread batter into pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle a few more yoghurt chips, Reese’s Pieces, or other trail mix bits on top, if you like.
7. Bake 25–27 minutes until light golden brown.
8. Transfer baking pan to wire rack and allow to cool completely.
9. Remove blondie slab from pan by pulling up on the parchment paper. Cut blondies into 16 squares.
