Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 cup natural brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for variation)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds or pecans
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or chopped dates
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom (natural)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Plant-Based Butter: Melt the plant-based butter slowly over medium heat, stirring consistently until it bubbles and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
  2. Mix Sugar and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the natural brown sugar and browned butter until smooth. Add plant-based milk and natural vanilla extract, mixing well to create a creamy, moist base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to maintain tenderness.
  4. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in any optional extras like dairy-free chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to evenly distribute without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan to set the texture, then slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Keep a close watch while browning the butter to avoid burning and to achieve rich flavor.
  • Stir the batter just enough to combine; overmixing can make them tough.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and neat edges.
  • Cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
  • Use mix-ins sparingly to avoid weighing down the batter.
