Gluten-free blondies = next-level delicious!
I will never forget the first recipe I made from theBetter Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It was actually the first thing I baked, from start to finish, completely on my own. Blondies.
I remember them being likea brownie, but without the chocolate. A blond brownie, with a deepbrown sugar flavor. Same texture as a brownie. Chewy, crisp edges and soft in the middle. These were also full of crunchy walnuts.It was a simple mix, pour, bake and slice recipe. My favorite kind!
That pan of blondies was where it all started for me. Abeginning of a journey, a journey where I discovered my true love for baking. I was confident that I could bakeyummy goodies for my family and friends to enjoy. I was hooked.
Maple walnut blondies are a flavor exposition.
I was thinking about my dad when I made these maple walnut gluten-free blondies. He has always been a fanofdesserts with nuts. German chocolate cake, pecan pie, carrot cake. I know he would be quite content with this walnut-filled dessert, especially when ice cream is also involved. I love my dad and his love for desserts. He’s like me, when dinner is over his first thought is, “I need something sweet!”
These gluten-free vegan blondies are a crowd favorite.
No one will miss the gluten, dairy or eggs in these maple and brown-sugarycookie bars made with my gluten-free flour mix.King Arthur Measure for MeasureorPamela’s Gluten-Free Artisan Blendblend both work well in most recipes and are vegan too.
The best way to eat these warm, chewy gluten-free blondies is with an enormous scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top. Make it a scoop ofSo Delicious Dairy Freecoconut milk vanilla ice cream. Even better!
