Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 115g plant-based butter
  • 200g natural brown sugar
  • 60ml grape juice
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 190g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Optional Mix-ins and Variations

  • Plant-based chocolate chips (quantity as desired)
  • Toasted pecans (quantity as desired)
  • Dried cranberries (quantity as desired)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (natural)
  • Plant-based peanut butter (for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Plant-Based Butter: Melt the plant-based butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently and watch as it changes to a golden brown color with a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with natural brown sugar and grape juice. Whisk in the natural vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural gelling agent, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick, homogeneous batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness and chewiness.
  5. Prepare Your Baking Pan: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are set and golden, while the center remains slightly soft. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Brown the butter carefully on medium heat and stir continuously to prevent burning and develop the perfect flavor.
  • Measure flour accurately using spoon and level method to avoid dryness.
  • Chilling the batter briefly before baking can help achieve a firmer and chewier texture.
  • Fold in mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips gently to maintain batter integrity.
  • Check doneness starting at 20 minutes to avoid over-baking which dries out the blondies.
