Tips
- If you have a peanut allergy you could use another nut butter or a seed butter.
- As always, taste as you go. You may want more salt than I've included, or less chocolate chips. Just keep in mind wet to dry ingredient ratios. If you want more maple syrup for example, you will be adding more moisture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week, if you can control yourself!
How Long Do These Last?
These vegan blondies will last up to 5 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
Additions / Variations

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.

I don't usually leave reviews but love these so much! Tick all the dietary requirement boxes! I sub the maple syrup for honey and leave out the chocolate chips. Thanks for this recipe!
