The Best Blondies Recipe - (Gluten Free)

Is it true that blondies have more fun? As a brunette, I can’t answer that question, but I can strongly recommend whipping yourself up this sweet treat!

Think of Blondies like the cousins to Brownies. While they retain the same shape and texture, the taste of cocoa is replaced with the taste of butterscotch and vanilla. I won’t believe you if you tell me that doesn’t sound delicious!

Blondies can be easily customized, and some opt to include nuts and chocolate. Personally, I enjoy them with some butterscotch chips, or cut-up ‘blonde’ chocolate bars (caramelized white chocolate). Whatever you choose to do, they’re hard to mess up! Bon appétit, les amis!
