Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (60g)
- 1/3 cup white sugar (64g)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (increase to 1/2 tsp if using oil or unsalted vegan butter)
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips (80g) (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan butter (or oil) (100g)
- 1 tbsp nondairy milk (or water) (15g), only if needed
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Pan: Line the bottom of an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and optional chocolate chips until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Melt the vegan butter or oil and mix it into the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine; avoid overmixing for best texture.
- Adjust Batter Consistency: The batter should resemble cookie dough. If it seems too dry, slowly add up to a tablespoon of nondairy milk or water and stir to reach desired consistency.
- Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes for gooey blondies or 23 minutes for a crispier edge. The blondies will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This allows them to set and achieve the perfect texture.
- Store: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to two days, refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days, or frozen for up to three months. Thaw or reheat before serving.
Notes
- If using oil or unsalted vegan butter, increase salt to 1/2 teaspoon for better flavor balance.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture.
- Adding chocolate chips is optional but recommended for extra sweetness and texture.
- Let the blondies cool fully before slicing to ensure they hold together well.
- For longer storage, freeze sliced blondies and thaw before eating to preserve freshness.
