Peppermint Blondies (Grain free, Dairy free)

December 20, 2018 By Becky 2 Comments

Peppermint Blondies (Gluten free, Grain free, Dairy free)

These gluten-free peppermint blondies taste like peppermint bark on top of the richest, chewiest blondies. They’re grain free, dairy free, and easy to make with just one bowl.

I’m sneaking in with one more recipe before Christmas! The other day I had the idea to make a peppermint version of my olive oil blondies, and I had to make it happen right away. The olive oil blondies have been my go-to party/potluck dessert for several years now. They’re always a hit and I always get lots of requests for the recipe. And no one has ever been able to taste the olive oil! (Although if you prefer, you can make them with avocado oil instead).

Olive Oil Blondies (Gluten free, Grain free, Dairy free)

These olive oil blondies are irresistibly chewy in the middle and crunchy around the edges. No one will guess that they’re gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and paleo friendly!

Here they are: quintessential and perfect blondies (olive oil blondies, no less!), which happen to be free of gluten, grains, and dairy. I don’t mean to brag, but I think I really nailed it with these: no one will know they’re grain free or that they’re made with olive oil. They’re also super easy to whip up with just one bowl and one fork. No melting, no creaming, and no mixer required.

Olive Oil Blondies (Gluten free, Grain free, Dairy free)

When I was little and still the world’s pickiest eater, I loved to go to Annabelle’s, a long-gone café in my hometown of Wellesley, Massachusetts, for dinner. I always got macaroni and cheese and a blondie. My nostalgia for that meal runs so deep that thinking about it still makes me really sad, despite the fact that Annabelle’s has been closed since 1994.

Cherry Blondies & Homemade Almond Butter (Paleo, Gluten free)

August 29, 2013 By Becky 7 Comments

These are so good!  Elana of Elana’s Pantry is a total genius, because she figured out that almond butter, eggs, and honey will magically bake up into BLONDIES.  Yes!  Fudgy, delicious blondies.  When you read the recipe, you’ll think there must be a mistake.  I am here to tell you there isn’t!  Almonds prove themselves here once again as a miracle food.  I promise you will love these.  You don’t even have to add cherries; you can just make them without for regular blondies.  And don’t worry about the almond extract.  I was trying to play up the almond flavor a little, but it didn’t really come through.  So you could leave it out, leave it in, or even try a full teaspoon if you want that little hint of marzipan flavor.
