I made them with cashews, since cashews are a fairly bland nut and the flavor from blondies comes from brown sugar, vanilla, and the butter, and a stronger nut flavor would mask the vanilla (and brown coconut sugar). Unsurprisingly, the bars that came out of the oven just tasted like sweet cashews with a baked-goods texture. Not what I think of as a blondie texture, though. Blondies, in my experience are dense and fudgy, like brownies, but you know, blond. Baking soda = rising = light and fluffy/cakey texture. I guess some people like cakey brownies, so this might appeal to that crowd, as long as they don’t expect a taste that in any way approximates blondies.

The result would probably be better with a more flavorful nut, and not viewed as a version of blondies, but rather a nut-butter cookie bar. (Like with peanut butter as a peanut butter cookie bar, etc.) I’m not going to make these again to find out, though. There are so many excellent recipes on this site (and the My New Roots cookbook is my favorite cookbook), so I’ll stick to those.

Well that’s my little story to you. I hope you had a chuckle at my expense. Ayelet]]> Hi Sara,
I thought I’d share this story with you. I’ve been making these amazing blondies (my own version)since you first posted them. I’ve been making them at least once a week since so needless to say LOTS! I have my holy trinity version with PB, Almond butter and tahini plus I add nuts. Recently I started adding hemp hearts for added nutrition and because they are so damn good. I mistakenly reached for farro instead. By the time I realized it it was too late and no way to dig out those little effers. So what should I do? Chuck or test? I decided the ingredients were too expensive to chuck and so in the oven it went. Well, after chilling them I tentatively tried them and lo and behold, it was quite fantastic. A bit more sturdy than the nuts but somehow the farro got cooked enough to bite into. Good thing they were pearled 🤣Maybe that’s how new recipes are invented? Well that’s my little story to you. I hope you had a chuckle at my expense.
Ayelet

I made them with some Pistachio butter I had been looking for something to do with for ages…….unreal! A little underbaked and gooey, but after some time in the fridge I found they firmed up well. The edges are the best…will have to get an edge pan! Next time, I will increase the cooking time (I ignored my instincts and took it out with too much wobble) as we all know ovens can vary!

Thanks! I LOVE your receipes – healthy, tasty and achievable for the average human. You are amazing! Thank you so much!!

I have also been making LOTS of your life changing loaf , which really is, life changing!! So happy to have found bread I can actually eat, that tastes delicious and is easy to make. Keep up the great work!!! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

All the best.

Hm… I’m wondering if your nut butter was too thin. I suggest trying a thicker textured nut butter to see if that helps! Happy to hear you love the granola bars as much as I do!

Now, I tried to make the Blondies, but the dough ist very thin – like pancake dough. Its not possible to fold it.
Do you have an idea, what went wrong?

I switched out the eggs for a can’s worth of aqua faba (I think 6 tablespoons should be enough, but I used a bit more). Then I also added 1/2 cup of flour, just to make sure it wouldn’t be too wet. I’m not yet sure if this would work without the flour as well. But just wanted to let all the vegans know 🙂
