Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat pastry flour for a nuttier flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or any neutral vegetable oil)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (acts as the egg replacer)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk or spoon for mixing
• 8×8 inch baking pan
• Parchment paper or non-stick spray
• Oven
• Cooling rack

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine wet ingredients. In a separate small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and creamy.
4. Incorporate wet and dry. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold using a spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
5. Add your extras. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to baking pan. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
8. Cool completely. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Let your blonde brownies cool fully before slicing to ensure they hold together well.
9. Slice and serve. Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious vegan blonde brownies!

Tips & Variations

“For the best chewy texture, do not overbake your blondies. Check them early and pull them out once the edges are set and the center is just slightly soft.”

• Nut-free option: Omit nuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for crunch.
• Make it gluten-free: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour.
• Add a swirl: Drop dollops of peanut butter or vegan caramel on top and swirl with a knife before baking for a decadent twist.
• Boost the flavor: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for warm spice notes.
• Storage: Keep your blonde brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for a week. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
