Made with a simple gluten-free flour blend, these blondies have a perfect balance of crisp edges. They also have a soft, fudgy centre. The white chocolate chunks add creamy pockets of sweetness, making them utterly irresistible. You might bake these for a special occasion. Or you might indulge in a homemade treat. This recipe is sure to be a hit.

Blondies are often compared to brownies but do not contain cocoa. This allows the flavours of brown sugar, vanilla, and butter to shine. The addition of white chocolate chunks makes them even more decadent, enhancing their melt-in-your-mouth texture. Unlike cookies, which require chilling and shaping, blondies are a fuss-free option. You just mix the ingredients, pour the batter into a pan, and bake! This makes them perfect for last-minute baking when you need a sweet fix without the extra effort.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These blondies are not only gluten-free, but they also have an amazing chewy texture that rivals any traditional version. Many gluten-free baked goods can be dry or crumbly. However, the combination of brown sugar and butter keeps these bars perfectly moist. Plus, since they’re made in one bowl, there’s minimal cleanup, always a bonus!

They’re also incredibly customisable. If you want to switch things up, add a handful of chopped nuts. You can try dried cranberries too. Consider even a swirl of caramel for extra flavour. If you prefer a little saltiness, sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top. Do this just before baking to balance out the sweetness. No matter how you make them, these blondies will quickly become a staple in your gluten-free baking collection.

Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Blondies

• Use the Right Flour: A good gluten-free flour blend is important. It should include xanthan gum to help create a structure similar to traditional blondies. If your blend doesn’t have xanthan gum, add ¼ teaspoon per cup/125 grams of flour.
• Don’t Overbake: The key to perfect blondies is removing them from the oven when the centre still looks slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool, creating that ideal chewy texture.
• Let Them Cool: It’s tempting to dig in right away. Allowing the blondies to cool completely helps them set. This makes slicing easier.

These blondies are perfect for, a afternoon treat, or even serving at parties. Their rich, buttery flavour combined with chunks of creamy white chocolate makes them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Plus, since they freeze well, you can always have a batch on hand whenever a craving strikes!
