Riri's RecipesEasy vegan apple blondies are the perfect way to kick off fall! They are so easy to make with only 15 minutes of prep time, made in one bowl with healthy ingredients, and are such a warm and comforting snack for the fall.
These are the best apple blondies because they’re made with wholesome ingredients and are such a fun twist on brownies! Instead of adding cocoa powder, we leave that out and add in some other ingredients. The tops of the blondies are not crackly like brownies because there is no cocoa in them, but they are still just as delicious. I can’t completely omit the chocolate, so chocolate chips were a must in this recipe.
Ingredients needed to make these easy vegan apple blondies
This blondie recipe is super simple and only requires main ingredients consisting of whole wheat flour, apples, chopped, some chopped nuts of your choice (I used cashews), almond milk (or any plant milk you like), chocolate chips, maple syrup, flax seeds, coconut oil, and applesauce. The cashews in this recipe add a delicious crunch, while the apples make these apple blondies super soft, sweet and delicious. The chocolate chips are just a no-brainer for me, because what’s dessert without some chocolate?
Tips on how to cut your apples
I prefer to peel my apples when making this recipe, but you can definitely leave the peel on if you’d like! I also love chopping the apples into small bite-sized pieces so that there is more apple pieces dispersed into the blondies. How I chop my apples is by cutting it in 4 (in half both ways), then removing the center/seeds from the apple. After that, I cut each slice in half and then begin chopping it into smaller pieces.
Baking tips to make the perfect easy vegan apple blondies
- Add all wet ingredients to your bowl first. I like adding the wet ingredients first and whisking it well so no clumps remain.
- Add in all dry ingredients, leaving out the apples, chocolate chips, and nuts. I continue to use my whisk to stir in the dry ingredients since you can be sure there won’t be any clumps from the flour.
- Fold in apples, chocolate chips, and nuts with a spatula. These ingredients will get stuck inside the whisk, so it is best to fold them with a spatula.
How to store your vegan apple blondies
You can keep your apple blondies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can also freeze them for about one month! Before enjoying, let them thaw out for 5-10 minutes and place in the microwave to make them warm and melt the chocolate (Drooling just thinking of that melted chocolate!).
