Love delicious moist and chewy brownies? This peanut butter version, called a Blondie, is the most incredible dessert! These delicious gluten free blondies are moist and delicious…and perfect with ice cream.
What is a Blondie?
Have you ever tried a gluten free blondie brownie?
I saw a recipe recently for an Applebee’s copycat recipe, and I have not been able to get it out of my mind.
My sweet tooth was screaming for these blondies, and I knew I HAD to make a gluten free version. As I dug into the copycat recipe, I noticed a common theme. Flour and a ton of sugar. Substituting a gluten free flour for a regular flour was easy, and I added almond flour for some added protein.
Can you believe I was able to reduce the amount of sugar by over a half a cup and switched the sugar out for a lower glycemic coconut sugar??”
This copycat recipe has it all. I hope you love these gluten free blond brownies as much as my family did.
By the time I was finished changing this recipe, my gluten free version was very different from the original. My family will be the first to say that the final result was pretty incredible.
This gluten free blond brownie is moist, chewy, and has just the right amount of sweetness.
Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend.
Add the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the chips. In this case I used peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips!
Scoop dough into an 8×8 baking dish and bake at 350F degrees for 20 minutes until done.

May 27, 2016 at 9:22 amThat first photo had me drooling and I just had breakfast! So I thought it was butterscotch chips, but peanut butter is even better. Lovely and thanks for turning me on to a new ingredient, Xanthan Gum. I looked it up, nice stuff.

July 17, 2014 at 7:25 pmThese sound amazing but what kind of peanut butter chips do you use? The only ones I know of are GF but full of junk!
Sandi Gaertner
July 17, 2014 at 7:29 pmI agree most are junky. I found this recipe for a healthier version at this blog: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/04/22/healthy-homemade-vegan-peanut-butter-chips/

July 15, 2014 at 10:13 pmIt’s not often that I would pick a blondie over a brownie, but this recipe might make me reconsider. Yum!

June 24, 2014 at 8:36 amThank you so much Shari. This is truly a delicious creation. I have to be careful with all of these sweets for the next two weeks because my kids are both at an overnight camp in Yosemite. Bad for me because I am left to eat of the things I creae 🙁 I need to see if these freeze well. I will stop by your hop, thank you again for the invite.
