What You Need

Cashew Butter: My favourite nut butter for these blondies. It’s the most neutral and doesn’t over powder the caramel-butter scotch flavour. You can use any nut butter / seed butter of choice but they won’t be cashew butter blondies anymore. Still delicious though 🙂
Coconut Sugar: Gives these blondies it’s rich caramel-butterscotch flavour.
Molasses: Helps with the thick and chewy factor.
Cashew Milk: Or any plant based milk.
Oat Flour: Gives these a nice chewy texture. I have also made this with gluten free all purpose flour.

In addition to these ingredients you’ll also need baking basics like vanilla, baking powder and salt.

I added chocolate chips for a nice touch but it isn’t necessary (or is it??).

How to Make Cashew Butter Blondies

I said these cashew butter blondies are easy to make and I make no joke. It took me less than 4 minutes to put together:

First we gotta make a rich caramel-butterscotch-like sauce so add all the wet ingredients into a bowl and whisk it up.
Then we add in the dry ingredients until a ooey-gooey batter forms.
Transfer the batter into a baking tin. I used a 6×6 inch baking tin which helps thicken these baddies up.
Bake for around 22-25 minutes- just until golden around the edges.

I think the most difficult part is waiting because your kitchen will literally smell like vanilla-blondie heaven as it bakes up.

Tips for PERFECT Golden Cashew Butter Blondies

Baking Pan Size: I used a 6×6 inch baking tin which was perfect to get that thick and chewy texture I was going for. You can also use a 7×7 or 8×8 inch baking tin but note that they will be thinner. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes.
Blondie Baking Time: Lower baking time (22 minutes) will yield a richer chewy texture whereas a higher baking time (25 minutes) will yield a more cookie-like texture. I like to bake it for 23 minutes to get that ooey-gooey middle but cookie like texture around the edges.
For Cake-y Blondies: I personally like blondies thick (like fudgy brownies) but if you like a cake-y her consistency, add in an additional 1/4 cup of oat flour.

How to Store Nut Butter Blondies

Room Temperature: In an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator: for up to 1 week.
Freezer: for up to 2 months.
