Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Brown sugar: This adds sweetness, moisture, and a rich, caramel-like flavor to the blondies.
  • Creamy peanut butter: Peanut butter provides both flavor and healthy fat to the blondies. It also adds a subtle nutty taste. You can use almond butter or any other nut or seed butter as a substitute.
  • Avocado oil: Avocado oil adds moisture and a slight coconut flavor to the blondies. You can substitute it with melted coconut oil or vegetable oil.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour acts as the main dry ingredient in these blondies. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, try my vegan peanut butter blondies instead.
  • Baking powder: Baking powder is a leavening agent that helps the blondies rise and become light and fluffy.
  • Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of the blondies and balances the sweetness.
  • Almond milk: Almond milk serves as a liquid component in the recipe, adding moisture to the blondies. You can replace it with any other plant-based milk, such as soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
  • Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the blondies.
  • Jam: I used strawberry jam, but any flavor works great!
