Description

Ingredients

• 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 5 tablespoons water)
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup maple syrup (room temp)
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (room temp)
• ½ cup tahini
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups gluten free flour (Ive been using Minimalist Bakers blend, which you can find here or Bobs Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour)
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips (sub carob chips)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8 by 8 square baking pan with parchment.
• Prepare flax eggs by combining 2 tablespoons flax meal with 5 tablespoons water in a medium sized mixing bowl. Let set for 3-5 minutes.
• Add ¼ cup melted coconut oil, ¼ cup maple syrup (room temp), ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (room temp), ½ cup of tahini, and 4 teaspoons vanilla extract to flax eggs. Whisk until smooth.
• Then add 1½ cups gluten free flour , ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. Then fold in 1 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips (sub carob chips) until incorporated.
• Pour into prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
• Bake 20-25 min*, or until slightly golden around the edges and the middle is slightly firm. You want the middle to have some give to it to ensure the blondies don’t dry out.
• Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be more crumbly when right out of the oven/warm and will hold up more when completely cooled.
• Best when fresh, but will keep for 2-3 days covered and stored at room temp.
• Enjoy!
