Vegan Blondies
Learn how to make the best vegan blondies! This easy recipe is dairy-free, egg-free, and perfect for a chewy, sweet treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter or coconut oil, melted
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or almond flour for gluten-free
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp aquafaba or 1 flax egg: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips optional
- ½ cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly coat it with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter (or coconut oil), coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the aquafaba or prepared flax egg and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine them evenly. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones, stirring gently until everything is just blended.
- If using, gently fold in vegan chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan, then slice them into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Gluten-Free Option: Swap the all-purpose flour with almond flour or your favorite gluten-free flour blend.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Sweetener Substitution: You can replace coconut sugar with brown sugar or granulated sugar if preferred.
- Aquafaba Substitute: If you don’t have aquafaba, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
