  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour (can substitute regular all-purpose flour)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 5 tablespoons sprinkles (plus 1-2 teaspoons for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit to ensure your oven is at the right temperature for baking the blondies evenly.
  2. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the pan first so the parchment paper sticks well and makes removing the blondies easier.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, add the softened vegan butter and both sugars. Cream them together for about 1 minute until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the apple sauce and vanilla bean paste until incorporated evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Add dry ingredients: In a separate step, add the gluten-free all purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt (all dry ingredients except sprinkles) into the wet mixture and gently fold together. Make sure to spoon and level the flour for accurate measurement. The dough should resemble regular cookie dough in texture.
  6. Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold in the 5 tablespoons of sprinkles to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Transfer to pan: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and press it down flat with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of additional sprinkles on top for decoration.
  8. Bake: Bake the blondies for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges turn just golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over or under baking.
  9. Cooling: Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice into 16 squares.
  10. Optional frosting: If desired, spread vegan buttercream frosting on top for extra sweetness and enjoy your funfetti blondies!

Notes

  • Use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version or regular all-purpose flour if gluten is not a concern.
  • Do not over-bake to avoid a dry texture; under-baking will result in too gooey blondies.
  • Softened vegan butter can be quickly softened by microwaving for about 30 seconds.
  • Level your flour measurements by spooning into the measuring cup and leveling with a knife; do not pack flour.
  • Sprinkles add color and fun but choose vegan sprinkles to keep the recipe fully vegan.
  • Optional: Spread vegan buttercream frosting on top for a more decadent treat.
