Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar (plant-based)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend as variation)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
For Topping
- Extra cinnamon sugar mixture (1 tablespoon granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the plant-based butter and brown sugar (plant-based) until the mixture is fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if using.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon (natural), granulated sugar, and natural gelling agent to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Bring Wet and Dry Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness and chewiness.
- Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the extra cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface for a crunchy topping. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs remaining.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense blondies.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent a tough texture.
- Allow blondies to cool fully to help the natural gelling agent stabilize the chewy texture.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon (natural) for the best warm and vibrant flavor.
- Adjust the sugar quantities if you prefer a sweeter or milder taste.
