What is the difference between brownies and blondies?
First things first, if you never have had them before, you may be wondering what’s the difference between blondies and brownies anyway.
This is a great question. Sometimes people get confused by blondes, because they look like a brownie, but well, blonde. Blondies are a lot like their brownie cousin, but don’t have any cocoa powder in them. Think of it as a cookie in a pan that you can eat like a brownie!
How to Make Gluten Free Blondies
Gluten Free Blondies are super simple to make. I’ve timed myself making these from start to finish, and it only takes me about eight minutes!
There’s a few simple ingredients in Gluten Free Blondies:
- Brown Sugar
- Egg
- Oil
- Gluten Free Flour
- Salt
- Vanilla
That’s about it! As a bonus, these blondies are not only gluten free, but also dairy free blondies.
Simply cream together your brown sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla.
Then add your salt and gluten free flour. You may need to add a bit of baking powder if it isn’t already in your gluten free flour blend. Be sure to read the ingredients, because many gluten free flours already include it!
At this point, you may want to leave your blondies plain, or add in something else. We like to add echolocate chips or chocolate chunks, but the possibilities are really endless. You can chop up your favorite candy and throw it in, try white chocolate chips, caramel chips, butterscotch chips, you name it!
Then bake, allow to set for about ten minutes and enjoy! They won’t last long, I promise! These are all the deliciousness of chocolate chip cookies, with only a fraction of the work!
