These vegan blondies are crispy around the edges and chewy in the center. It’s a simple and delicious recipe to share with non-vegans because they will not even know it’s dairy free. 

I love baking vegan treats like this vegan blondie recipe because I can taste the batter and not be nervous about eating raw eggs.

I’ve been eating vegan desserts since I was a little girl- not on purpose, my family preferred eating healthy, avoiding eggs and butter if possible. Only as an adult, I allow myself the luxuries of butter and eggs in my house. (Although my husband would rather not have me cook or bake with eggs. haha oh well.)

Something to note, I used carob chips to make the vegan blondies, however, if you don’t use high-quality carob chips, it’s not going to taste good as using vegan semisweet chocolate chips.  (Trader Joe’s has delicious vegan semisweet chocolate chips and it’s affordable).

Tips and Tricks for Making This Easy and Delicious Vegan Blondies Recipe: 

• When mixing nuts in a recipe like walnuts, it is always handy to have a food processor. Chopping is a tedious job which a food processor is always a sure way to lighten up your baking load 🙂
• If you are not allergic to any nuts, replace the walnuts if it’s not available in your pantry – it can be pecans, cashews, or peanuts
• If you want to make this vegan blondies recipe healthier, mix in a generous amount of flax seeds – for sure it would be an amazing addition
