A few weeks ago, I became obsessed with the Paleo blondies at Hu Kitchen. They seriously taste as buttery and delicious as the real thing but they’re gluten free and made with coconut palm sugar. I wanted to make something similar so decided to check out Elana’s Pantry in search of a recipe.
She makes incredible gluten free wonders. On her site, I found this crazy amazing recipe for “blondies” that are made from only 6 ingredients. I was highly skeptical but decided to try making them to see what would happen. I had all of the ingredients on hand so it was a breeze.
First of all, this recipe was so easy to make. It involved mixing up a few ingredients and popping the final product into the oven. It took a total of less than 10 minutes, I kid you not. Secondly, holy cow these gluten free blondies are tasty. I could (and did) eat them all day long. They are the perfect amount of cakey and gooey without having any sort of flour in them. It makes no sense logically but I promise you, you will not be disappointed. My husband, who is mostly Paleo, especially appreciated this dessert that he could actually eat and enjoy.
You can find Elana’s recipe below. I didn’t change a thing.
