Vegan, GF, Choc-Chip Blondies
Vegan, GF, Choc-Chip Blondies
~ Delicious healthy vegan choc chip blondies <3 ~
These blondies are chewy, gooey, rich, and filled with pools of melty vegan chocolate. Fluffy, chewy centre with a crunchy golden top. Oh, and they are also vegan, gluten-free, and refined-sugar free!
If you struggle with allergies or are trying to eat healthier, these are the perfect treat for you. Their sweetness comes from banana, and un-refined coconut sugar.
Whats great about these blondies? They come together in just 1 bowl, and they only take 15 minutes to make!
This is a small batch recipe, which bakes in a loaf pan. You can always double it to make a full size batch, but I prefer making them in the loaf pan so no blondies go to waste.

Most people believe that Brownies came before blondies, but some evidence actually suggests that blondies came first, maybe even up to 10 years before!
We are not too sure who the blondie originator was, but they were thought to have originated somewhere in the U.S.
The first person to publish a 'blondie' recipe was 'Fanny Farmer' in the cook book 'The Boston Cooking-school Cookbook' all the way back in the late 1800s, 1896. The recipe was actually called brownies, but it contained no chocolate and was actually what we now know as a blondie.
About 10 years after this, 'brownie' recipes as we know them today began to appear. For many years after the 'blondie' recipe was published, they were still refered to as brownies. It wasn't until the 1980s until people began to call them blondies, as they were not brown like what we know brownies as.
