Description

I lightened up a classic blondie recipe and added whole grains to make a healthier, more clean eating style blondie recipe. This version is made with spelt flour and coconut sugar and is also an easy cleanish eating vegan dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup spelt flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (use vegan version to keep the recipe vegan)
½ cup vegan butter, melted and cooled (I used Earth Balance)
½ cup coconut sugar
1 flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, set aside)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper (for easy removal).
Prepare flaxseed egg and melt vegan butter, if you haven’t already.
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly. Whisk in chocolate chips.
In a medium bowl, whisk vegan butter and coconut sugar until combined evenly. Whisk in flaxseed egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake until the blondies are cooked through (when a toothpick inserted comes out clean), about 20-24 minutes. Cool for about 2-3 hours (or 1 hour if you’re impatient like me), cut, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Placing the baking dish on a trivet to cool so air can circulate under the pan can help expedite the cool down time. If you’re anxious to eat your blondies. Not that I did this because I was so excited about eating my freshly baked blondies.
