Vegan Peanut Butter Blondies are plant-based and gluten free bars packed with peanut butter flavor. These bars are an indulgent, yet healthy treat for peanut butter lovers.
Mmmmhhhh peanut butter. I love peanut butter so much that I don't need to even read the next three paragraphs of me convincing you how good these bars are. I'm just skipping to the bottom of the page to read the delicious recipe...
Don't actually do that though! I'd love to tell you about how amazing these bars are. They have double, yes double, peanut flavor AND chocolate chips to make that amazing chocolate peanut butter combination.
What I love most about these bars though, is that when I'm biting into one, I feel like I'm eating a decadent treat. But when I take a look at the ingredient list, I realize how healthy these Peanut Butter Chip Bars actually are. Real, whole food ingredients. No sugar, no gluten, no oil, butter, eggs, milk. Only ingredients you can actually feel good about eating. Yet the bars taste delicious.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. Add all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and peanuts to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 3. Stir in the chips and peanuts.
Step 4. Press the mixture the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips, if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean and the blondies feel firm to the touch. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into bars. Enjoy!
I used an 8x8 pan for THICK blondies. But a 9x9 pan or even a regular cake pan works too.
This recipe uses oat flour. Oats are naturally gluten-free and are therefore a great option for those avoiding gluten.
If you are allergic to gluten, make sure to buy certified gluten-free oat flour to avoid any trace amounts of gluten that can be added to oats during processing.
Don't want to add chocolate chips & peanuts? Here's a few other fun ideas:
Thank you, God, for indulgent treats that we can feel good about eating. Let us spend some time enjoying the food you give us. Amen.
