Vegan Peanut Butter Blondies (4 Ingredients)
Keto and vegan peanut butter blondies, made with only 4 ingredients! Oil-free, flourless, and grain-free, they have 125 calories each, and can be made paleo-friendly with almond butter.
Servings: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup 60 mL water
- 4 and 1/2 teaspoons 9.75 g flaxseed meal
- 1 and 1/4 cups 330 g creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 3/4 cup 145 g keto-friendly brown sugar equivalent (for testing, I used sukrin gold)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a 9-inch (22.5 cm) baking pan with foil or parchment paper; spray exposed interior sides with cooking spray.
- In a small cup or dish, combine the water and flaxseed meal. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a medium bowl, whisk water-flax mixture, peanut butter, sugar substitute, and baking soda until completely blended and smooth. The batter will be quite stiff.
- Scrape into prepared pan, smoothing the top (it will be very thick, so use your fingertips to press down).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until deep golden brown, surface appears dry and center looks just set (they will get firm as they cool).
- Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- Remove blondies from pan and cut into 16 squares.
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, the refrigerator for 1 week, or the freezer for up to 6 months.
Tip: An equal amount of ground chia seeds can be used in place of the flaxseed meal.
