Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, slightly softened (112g)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed (142g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (96g)
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla flavoring
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (272g) (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the vegan butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a stand mixer or electric handheld mixer, cream the ingredients together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the creamed butter and sugars, add the non-dairy milk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined and the flour is fully incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the blondie batter into the prepared baking dish. Press the mixture evenly and firmly against the bottom using clean hands or a rubber spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the blondies out, place on a cutting board, and slice into 16 equal bars.
- Serve: Enjoy your vegan chocolate chip blondies as a delightful snack or dessert.
Notes
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum included.
- Ensure vegan butter is softened but not melted for best creaming results.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully vegan.
- Do not overbake to maintain a chewy texture; blondies will continue to set as they cool.
- Leftover blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for one week.
