Peanut Butter: Be sure to use a natural peanut butter.
Light Brown Sugar: For sweetness, moisture and structure.
Vanilla Extract: For a warm background flavor.
Chocolate Chips: Use whatever dairy free chocolate chips you like in these blondies. I like Enjoy Life. Or use chocolate chunks!

Use any nut butter you like in this recipe! You could use almond butter, cashew butter or make this recipe nut-free with sunflower seed butter!
Also, feel free to use any chocolate chips you like. Milk chocolate or white chocolate would also be great. Just make sure they don't contain milk to keep these blondies dairy free.
How to Make Homemade Oat Flour
Do not use store-bought oat flour in this Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies recipe. It will be too fine and absorbent.
Making homemade oat flour is easy and cheap!
To do it, add oats to a blender or food processor and process them until they are finely ground.
Method
Step 1. Add rolled oats into a blender or food processor and blend until they reach a flour-like consistency.
Step 2. Mix the peanut butter and brown sugar together with a spatula.
Step 3. Add the flax egg and vanilla and mix.
Step 4. Add the homemade oat flour, baking powder and salt and fold to incorporate. The mixture will be thick!
Step 5. Then, add the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
Step 6. Finally, scrape the batter into a prepared 8x8 inch square pan, top with more chocolate and bake!
Recipe FAQs
Place the blondies into an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to a month!
No! It will absorb too much and the blondies may come out dry.
Expert Tips and Tricks

This will allow you to remove the Vegan Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies from the pan to cut them.
