Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter (for browning)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Add-Ins (optional)

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the plant-based butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter turns golden brown and emits a rich, nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, light brown sugar, and natural vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated to form a luscious base.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the natural gelling agent to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  4. Create the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender and soft.
  5. Add Texture and Flavor: Fold in the chopped nuts and plant-based dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for delightful bursts of crunch and richness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains soft but not wet.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Cooling helps achieve the perfect chewy consistency.

Notes

  • Keep stirring the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning and achieve the best flavor.
  • Use ingredients at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Remove blondies from the oven when the center is just set to keep them gooey.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Customize with different nuts, dried fruit, or spice blends for variations.
  • Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • Freeze wrapped blondies for up to two months to keep fresh longer.
  • Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave to restore gooey texture.
