Ingredients

Scale

Blondies

  • 1 cup soft brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
  • Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped dates or dried apricots
  • Optional: 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips
  • Optional: Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Optional: Smoked turkey bacon pieces for garnish

Sea Salt Toffee Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Sea salt flakes, to finish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Start by melting the plant-based butter and mixing it with the soft brown sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the natural vanilla extract, then blend in eggs one at a time until the mixture is glossy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and natural baking powder, then gently fold this into the wet ingredients, ensuring the batter remains dense yet soft with a luscious texture.
  2. Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into a lined baking dish and smooth the top evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center looks slightly undercooked for a perfect gooey bite. Allow the blondies to cool slightly in the pan before adding the toffee sauce.
  3. Make the Sea Salt Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine plant-based cream with brown sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Bring the mixture to a low simmer while stirring constantly until thickened to a luxurious sauce consistency. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for a crave-worthy salty flavor.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Drizzle the warm sea salt toffee sauce generously over the blondies while they are still slightly warm. Cut into squares, add an extra pinch of sea salt on top, and serve with optional smoked turkey bacon pieces for those who want a savory twist. Enjoy every bite of the sweet, salty, and buttery goodness.

Notes

  • Use soft brown sugar for rich caramel flavor and moist texture.
  • Do not overmix; fold dry ingredients gently to keep blondies tender.
  • Remove blondies from oven when the center is still slightly soft for gooey texture.
  • The sea salt toffee sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated.
  • Sprinkle sea salt flakes just before serving to preserve crunch and flavor.
