8 Chewy Vegan Blondies Recipes

Oh. My. Gosh. Blondies! 🤤

Get ready to dive into a world of chewy, gooey, vegan deliciousness! I’ve rounded up 8 drool-worthy blondie recipes that’ll make you forget all about their chocolatey cousins. Trust me, as someone who’s face-planted into more desserts than I care to admit, these babies are the real deal.

I’ve teamed up with some of the coolest vegan bakers out there to bring you recipes that’ll satisfy every craving – from classic vanilla to exotic matcha. And the best part? They’re all egg and dairy-free, so you can indulge without the guilt (or weird looks from your judgy vegan friend).

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a kitchen newbie, these recipes are totally doable. Heck, even my cat could probably whip these up (if she had opposable thumbbs, that is). So grab your apron, crank up some tunes, and let’s get baking!

Classic Vanilla Blondies

Ah, the OG blondie. This recipe is like that comfy sweatshirt you can’t stop wearing – reliable, familiar, and oh-so-satisfying.

To make these bad boys, you’ll need your usual suspects: flour, sugar, vegan butter, and a splash of vanilla extract. Mix ’em up, throw in some vegan chocolate chips (because why the heck not?), and bake until golden brown.

Pro tip: Underbake them slightly for that gooey center that’ll make you weak in the knees.

I once made these for a potluck and watched a group of non-vegans demolish the entire batch in minutes. Talk about a mic drop moment! 🎤

Peanut Butter Blondies

If you’re anything like me, you probably eat peanut butter straight from the jar with a spoon. No judgment here! But why not take that obsession to the next level with these peanut butter blondies?

The secret to these babies is using creamy peanut butter in the batter. It gives them a rich, nutty flavor that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen.

Mix in some chopped peanuts for extra crunch, and don’t forget to sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking. Trust me, that sweet-salty combo is chef’s kiss.

Remember that time I tried to “healthify” these by using protein powder instead of flour? Yeah, let’s just say some experiments are better left in the lab. Stick to the real deal, folks!

Salted Caramel Blondies

Holy moly, these blondies are like a warm hug for your taste buds. If you’ve never tried making vegan caramel before, prepare to have your mind blown!

The base is your standard blondie batter, but the magic happens when you swirl in that homemade salted caramel sauce. It creates these pockets of gooey goodness that’ll make you want to weep tears of joy.

Word to the wise: Let these cool completely before cutting. I know, I know, it’s torture. But unless you want a hot mess (literally), patience is key here.

Fun fact: I once ate an entire pan of these while binge-watching “The Great British Bake Off.” No regrets!

Matcha Green Tea Blondies

Feeling fancy? These matcha blondies are here to elevate your dessert game. Plus, they’re green, so they’re basically a salad, right? (Okay, maybe not, but a girl can dream.)

The star of the show here is, obviously, matcha powder. It gives these blondies a gorgeous green hue and a subtle earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the batter.

Mix in some white chocolate chips for extra indulgence, and top with a sprinkle of extra matcha powder for that Instagram-worthy finish.

I once served these at a tea party (yes, I’m that person), and my friends were so impressed they thought I’d bought them from a fancy bakery. Little did they know, I was in my PJs stress-baking at 2 AM the night before. Fake it ’til you make it, baby!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blondies

Okay, let’s be real. The best part of making cookies is eating the raw dough, right? Well, with these blondies, you can have your cookie dough and eat it too!

The base is a classic blondie, but the magic happens when you dollop spoonfuls of eggless cookie dough on top before baking. It creates these pockets of unbaked dough that’ll transport you straight back to your childhood (minus the salmonella risk).

Pro tip: Chill the cookie dough before adding it to the blondie batter. This helps it keep its shape during baking.

I once tried to be fancy and pipe the cookie dough on top in a swirly pattern. Let’s just say it looked less like art and more like a toddler’s finger painting. Sometimes, messy is best!

Lemon Blueberry Blondies

Who says blondies have to be all about the brown sugar and vanilla? These lemon blueberry beauties are like a burst of sunshine in your mouth.

The batter is infused with lemon zest and juice for a zippy kick, and fresh blueberries add bursts of fruity goodness. It’s like summer decided to crash your dessert party (and we’re totally here for it).

For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle these with a simple lemon glaze. Just mix some powdered sugar with lemon juice, and voila! Instant fancy.

True story: I once made these for a picnic and forgot them in the car. Came back to find a group of very happy (and slightly sticky) squirrels having their own little tea party. Nature’s critics gave it two paws up!

S’mores Blondies

Campfire vibes without the mosquito bites? Sign me up! These s’mores blondies are like your favorite childhood treat, all grown up and ready to party.

Start with a graham cracker-infused blondie base (just crush up some vegan graham crackers and mix them into the batter). Then, fold in some vegan marshmallows and chocolate chunks. As it bakes, the marshmallows get all gooey and the chocolate melts into puddles of chocolatey heaven.

For the ultimate s’mores experience, hit these bad boys with a kitchen torch right before serving. It’ll give you those crispy, charred marshmallow bits that’ll make you want to break out into a campfire song (resist the urge, your neighbors will thank you).

Confession time: I may or may not have eaten an entire batch of these while “testing” the recipe. You know, for science.

Maple Pecan Blondies

Last but certainly not least, we’ve got these maple pecan beauties that’ll make you want to move to a log cabin in Vermont (or at least pretend you live in one for a hot minute).

The secret weapon here is pure maple syrup. None of that fake stuff, we’re going full Canadian! (Sorry, maple trees.) It gives these blondies a rich, caramel-like flavor that’ll have you swooning.

Fold in some chopped pecans for crunch, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, drizzle some extra maple syrup on top before serving. It’s like autumn in dessert form!

Word of caution: These are dangerously addictive. I once brought them to a potluck and watched two grown adults fight over the last piece. It was like “The Hunger Games,” but with more sugar and less archery.

And there you have it, folks! Eight mind-blowing vegan blondie recipes that’ll make you the hero of every potluck, bake sale, and midnight snack attack.

Remember, baking is all about having fun and making a delicious mess. So don’t stress if your blondies don’t look Pinterest-perfect. As long as they taste good (and let’s be real, with these recipes, how could they not?), you’re golden.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with a pan of blondies and a glass of almond milk. Happy baking, my fellow vegan dessert enthusiasts! May your blondies always be chewy and your kitchen always smell like heaven. 🍪✨
