  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 X 13 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper so that it overhangs on all sides. Butter parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  2. Melt butter, and pour into a mixing bowl with brown sugar, ground coffee, and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir to combine. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into pan, and sprinkle with almonds. Bake 27-30 minutes depending on how chewy you like your blondies. A shorter baking time results in a chewier blondie. Let cool compeltley.
