Blondies are one of the most underrated desserts.
Their chewy, gooey, brown sugar goodness deserves way more credit than it receives.
Essentially, they’re a chocolate chip cookie on steroids.
Add peanut butter to the mix, and you have the ultimate treat.
Oh yeah, this version is also gluten-free and dairy-free.
I used a recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Jenna Weber of Eat, Live, Run, substituting gluten-free ingredients and making a few secret tweaks.
Head over to her blog for the base recipe, make substitutions to your liking, and let me know how it goes!
Getting these just right was definitely a process of trial and error, and I’m curious to hear about your experience.
Until then, I’ll be eating warm blondies, possibly topped off with So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream.
That being said, these blondies do provide a whole bunch of health benefits (surprised?)
- Peanut butter is a great source of protein, especially for vegans and vegetarians.
- Dark chocolate provides cancer-fighting antioxidants and may reduce stress by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
- Gluten-free baked goods sometimes have a lower glycemic index than their traditional counterparts, preventing energy crashes, exhaustion and cravings.
