Vegan Funfetti Blondies

These vegan funfetti blondies are like sugar cookies in bar form! They're perfectly sweet, easy to make and perfect for any occasion. They're gluten free and made with almond flour for a rich buttery flavor.

Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup softened unsalted vegan butter
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple sauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry
- 1 ¾ cups gluten free all purpose baking flour can sub regular AP flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. I find it easiest to grease the pan, then line it so it sticks right in.
- In a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer add the softened butter (I usually just microwave for about 30 seconds) and both sugars. Cream together for 1 minute.
- Add in the apple sauce and the vanilla.
- Add in all dry ingredients aside from the sprinkles and fold together. Be sure to spoon and level the flour to measure, don't pack them in. The dough should seem pretty similar to regular cookie dough.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Transfer to your prepared pan and press down flat with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle on top 1-2 teaspoons of sprinkles.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown. You want to be careful about both over and under baking here.
- Over-baking will result in a dry texture and under-baking they will be too gooey on the inside.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Remove from the pan once cool and slice into 16 squares.
- Spread on top some vegan buttercream if desired and enjoy!
Notes
You can use any kind of sprinkles, but I do not suggest non pareils as these bleed a lot into the batter and don't bake well.
