These vegan blondies are a plant-based twist on the classic dense and chewy dessert bar. Bittersweet chocolate is an optional add-in that makes them extra special!

Ingredients
Scale
1 Tablespoon ground flax (8 grams)
1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk (116 grams), divided
1 cup white whole wheat flour (134 grams)
1/4 cup almond flour (28 grams)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (2 grams)
1/2 teaspoon salt (3 grams)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (105 grams)
1/2 cup tahini (115 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 grams)
2 tablespoons (30 grams) vegan chocolate chips (see notes)
optional: flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a metal loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Make a flax egg: In a small dish or liquid measuring cup, mix flax and 1/4 cup of the soy milk. Let sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking powder and salt.
In a separate (large) bowl, mix brown sugar, tahini, and vanilla extract. Add the flax “egg” and mix well.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until completely combined. It will seem dry and crumbly here, but stay with me and keep mixing! Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of soy milk until no flour streaks remain and batter is thick and slightly sticky.
Transfer batter to the loaf pan and press it down, flattening/smoothing out the top with a spoon or spatula (I also use my hands). Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and lightly press in.
Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges and a paring knife comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Let cool in pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting into ten squares.
