You know my passion for vegan desserts and vegan baking recipes. I recently shared a healthier blondies recipe, my chickpea blondies, made from canned chickpeas. Today, it’s a much more decadent version with an authentic blondie flavor and texture made from the most simple plant-based ingredients. Classic blondies contain eggs and butter and, most of the time, milk or white chocolate chips. Therefore, it’s a vegetarian dessert but not a vegan-friendly treat. To make it fully plant-based, you need my recipe below!
Ingredients and Substitutions
You only need a few simple ingredients to whip up a batch of vegan blondies.
All-Purpose Flour or white spelt flour. If gluten-free, try an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend containing added xanthan gum for best results and texture. However, keep in mind that flour substitutions change the blondies’ texture. Gluten-free flour provides a dense and gummy texture. Flax Egg– A flax egg is made by combining ground flaxseeds and water. I recommend golden flax meal. It has a light color and is low in flavor compared to brown flax meal, which has a slightly fishy butter taste. Salt – Only if your vegan butter is unsalted. Vegan Butter – unsalted. White Sugar – You can also use unrefined cane sugar or erythritol for a sugar-free alternative. Brown Sugar or coconut sugar for a healthy alternative. Baking Powder Vanilla Extract Dark Chocolate Chips
How To Make Vegan Blondies
It’s very simple to make these gooey, egg-free blondies in less than 30 minutes.
Storage Instructions
This vegan blondie recipe can be stored in an airtight container placed in the fridge for up to 6 days. You can freeze leftover blondies in zip-lock bags and thaw them at room temperature the day before.
Flavors
You can use this recipe to create a combination of blondies flavors. To do so, swap the dark chocolate chips for:
Raspberries and vegan white chocolate chips Chopped walnuts or pecans Vegan oat milk chocolate chips
You can also drizzle some peanut butter on top of the blondies before baking for a peanut butter flavor.
Allergy Swaps
Below are my suggested ingredient substitution options in case you are allergic to what is used in this recipe.
Vegan Butter – You can use unsalted margarine with great results. However, coconut oil or vegetable oils won’t work. Sugar-Free – You can use sugar-free natural crystal sweeteners, like erythritol to replace the white sugar and brown erythritol to replace the brown sugar. Gluten-Free – Try an all-purpose 1:1 gluten-free flour to substitute all-purpose flour. Also, make sure the baking powder you use is wheat free. Otherwise, swap for half the amount of baking soda. Ground Flaxseeds Swap – You can replace the flax egg with a chia egg – use the same method by replacing ground flaxseeds for ground chia seed. Or, use a store-bought egg replacer.
