I’ve made a lot of brownies in my life. As a serious chocoholic, I grew up baking batch after batch of brownies. I never bothered with blondies until adulthood. Why would I? They’re like brownies without chocolate, right? Could they really be any good? Well, I’m here to tell you that blondies are awesome! Blondies can totally hold their own. Whereas brownies are all about the chocolate, blondies are about buttery brown sugar flavor and melt-in your mouth texture. Oh yeah…they’re good! And these blondies are the best vegan blondies, in my humble opinion.
What You’ll Need
Vegan butter. You should be able to find this near the regular butter at your supermarket. Look for brands like Earth Balance or Miyoko’s.Brown sugar. Light or dark brown sugar works for this recipe. You can even use coconut sugar if you’d like. The blondies in the photos were made using light. Either way, make sure your sugar is organic in order to keep the recipe vegan.Non-dairy milk. Use any variety that’s unsweetened and unflavored.Vanilla extract.All-purpose flour. You could probably also use spelt or whole wheat pastry flour. I haven’t tried any gluten-free flours, but I suspect an all-purpose gluten-free blend would work.Cornstarch.Baking powder.Salt.Cinnamon. This is optional, but I think it gives the blondies a great flavor.White chocolate chunks. Most white chocolate isn’t vegan, so be careful! I diced up some King David white chocolate coins. You could also use King David white chocolate chips, use homemade vegan white chocolate, or make regular old vegan chocolate chip blondies using dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels.Walnuts. Feel free to leave these out or substitute with other nuts or add-ins such as pecans, hazelnuts or raisins.

Be sure to let them cool for a bit before cutting and taking them out of the pan. Pretty easy, right?!
Leftovers & Storage
Store any leftover vegan blondies in a sealed container or bag. They’ll keep at room temperature for about 3 days, in the fridge for about a week, or in the freezer for about 3 months.
