8 Simple Ingredients

• Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Light Brown Sugar Sweetener
• Pure Maple Syrup
• Vanilla Extract or Maple Extract
• Flax Egg
• Vegan/Allergy-Free Butter
• Cinnamon

Brown sugar is what makes a blondie, a blondie! It keeps the squares soft and chewy, while the dairy-free butter gives the vegan blondies their fudgy texture! You can reduce the sugar content of these healthy maple blondies by using brown sugar-style erythritol, or you preferred brown sugar sweetener! You MUST use real, pure maple syrup, not "pancake syrup". You want a runny, maple syrup for these, otherwise, the batter won't mix together properly.

How to Make the Maple Blondies

This is a super simple one-bowl recipe that comes together in 5 minutes! I whipped up this recipe on a whim, last minute, and shocked myself by how quick and easy it was!

1. Prep your flax egg and allow it to gel.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
3. Add the maple syrup, extract, melted butter, and prepped flax egg. Mix everything together. Note: The batter will be VERY thick and sticky at this point.
4. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the sticky batter into the pan and do your best to smooth the batter out in a thin, even layer.
5. Bake the blondies at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are just golden brown.
6. Remove and let them cool COMPLETELY before cutting.

Storage and Additional Tips

• The blondie batter is super sticky and thick. It should be! Use a greased spatula for smoothing the batter out in the pan as best you can.
• You MUST line your baking pan. Cut 2 sheets of parchment paper to fit and line all sides of your baking pan. An 8x8-inch square baking pan is the perfect size for these blondies. Anything bigger and the blondies will be too thin.
• You want to bake the gluten-free blondies at a slow and low temperature until the edges begin to brown and the middle surface looks golden.
• Let them cool in the pan to room temperature before placing them in the fridge to chill completely overnight or a few hours. They MUST be chilled when you cut them.
• To cut them simply lift the whole block out of the pan using the parchment paper and then use a sharp knife to cut 9 even squares.
• Store the blondies in the fridge for about 7 days. You can freeze the blondies, cut and individually wrapped for up 3-4 months. To thaw, simply let them defrost overnight in the fridge.
• These are best eaten at room temperature or slightly warmed in the microwave (with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream!)
