What is the difference between brownies and blondies

I kinda think of blondies v. brownies as the vanilla v. chocolate of the cookie bar world. Blondies are like a chocolate chip cookie in bar form whereas brownies have a cocoa base and are rich and chocolate-y.

Ingredients and Substitutions for Vegan Blondies

Peanut Butter. I LOVE the peanut butter and chocolate combo, but if you can’t have peanut butter or want to switch it up, you can sub in another nut or seed butter like almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini.

Agave Nectar. I usually use agave, but you could sub in honey or maple syrup if you prefer.

Vanilla Extract. Just a splash for those warm, cozy cookie vibes.

Egg Replacer. I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free egg replacer. You can sub in whatever your favorite vegan egg is!

Almond Flour. I love using super-fine blanched almond flour because it’s a lighter color and a smoother texture.

Baking Powder & Salt. For some baking magic.

Chocolate Chips. I go for semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you like darker chocolate or want to chop up your favorite chocolate bar, go for it!

How to Make Vegan Blondies:

Prep your vegan eggs. My egg replacer mixes a powder with water and sits out for a couple minutes to thicken. If yours needs to do this, it’s best to do this first.

Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, agave nectar, the egg replacer, and vanilla.

Dry ingredients. Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix again until combined.

Fold. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top.

Spread. Transfer the batter to the pan and spread the mixture out in an even layer. Because it’s a thicker batter, I found it easiest to pat the batter down in an even layer with a rubber spatula.

More chocolate! Press the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Bake & Enjoy! Bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow the blondies to cool before sprinkle with salt (optional) and enjoy!
