Tips

To achieve beautiful colours in blondies, it is advisable to use low heat during baking, which is different from baking brownies.

The baking time is crucial as it affects the colour and moisture of the blondies

It is advisable to choose matcha powder that dissolves easily and does not clump when mixed with the pastry batter.

Using medium-sized eggs is recommended. Excessive egg quantity can make the pastry fluffy and light instead of having a fudgy texture.
You can use orange marmalade instead of orange puree. However, the aroma will not be as strong, and the taste will be sweeter
