Salted Vanilla Maple Blondies

Salted Vanilla Maple Blondies Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 15 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1½ cups oat flour (certified gluten-free if necessary)

¼ cup sweet white rice flour

¼ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

2 tablespoons tapioca powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup cashew butter

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Scrapings from inside 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla powder)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flaked sea salt

Instructions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

2Let some hang over the edges, to make it easy to removed the blondies from the pan.

3Whisk together the oat flour, rice flour, coconut sugar, tapioca powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

4Use a hand mixer to mix together the cashew butter, maple syrup, applesauce, and coconut oil in a large bowl.

5Stir in the vinegar, vanilla bean scrapings, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well incorporated.

6Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top.

7Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.

9Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift the blondie out of the baking dish. Slice into 12 pieces.

10You can store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature, but they’ll hold their moisture longer when refrigerated. They’ll keep for 3 to 4 days.

11I’m sure I don’t need to tell all you crazy chocoholics out there that these blondies are just begging for chocolate chips.

12Fold ½ cup vegan chocolate chips into the batter before transferring to the baking dish.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
