Vegan Blondies

Buttery, soft and chewy – these blondie bars are simply rich and scrumptious! Now, you might be wondering what the difference between a brownie and a blondie is. While brownies require cocoa, blondies are made with white chocolate and have a deep vanilla flavour and are lighter in colour and taste.

They’re velvety dense, gooey in the middle and can be made with a variety of add-ins like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, jams, nuts or nut butter. So here’s a quick and easy recipe to make the perfect blondie :

INGREDIENTS : –

• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegan butter or coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseeds + 3 tbsp water : let it sit for 10 minutes)
• 1/2 cup vegan white chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS : –

1. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Add the creamed butter-sugar mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Pour in the flax egg and vanilla extract. Mix to form a thick and sticky dough.
4. Fold the chocolate chips to evenly incorporate.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
6. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the blondie batter into the pan and press down to spread evenly. Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before removing the blondie from the pan. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
