Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup 1:1 gluten free flour
  • 1/2 cup tigernut flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup raspberries

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pink powder (natural beetroot powder or similar)
  • 12 tsp dairy free milk of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the blondies.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, tigernut flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Using an electric mixer, beat the olive oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until you see a few streaks of flour remaining; avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold fresh raspberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly to the edges. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean and the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Cool: Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare and Drizzle Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, pink powder, and 1-2 teaspoons of dairy free milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled blondies.
  9. Serve: Once the glaze is set, cut the blondies into bars and serve.

Notes

  • For the pink powder, natural beetroot powder works beautifully to add color and a subtle earthy sweetness.
  • You can substitute tigernut flour with almond flour if preferred.
  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and final texture.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These blondies are naturally gluten free; double-check all ingredients if baking for someone with severe gluten intolerance.
