Homemade Oat Flour: Instead of flour, this recipe uses homemade oat flour.
Peanut Butter: Be sure to use a natural peanut butter.

Plant Milk: I used oat milk, but any kind will work.

Baking Powder: Baking powder will leaven these Vegan Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blondies.
Vanilla Extract: For a warm background flavor.
Chocolate Chips: Use whatever chocolate chips you like here. I like Enjoy Life.
Method
This Vegan Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blondies recipe is quick and easy.
First, make the flax egg by combining the ground flax with the non dairy milk and vanilla and set it aside.
Next, stir the peanut butter and brown sugar together.
Then add the flax egg and stir until combined.
Now, add the oat flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine. The mixture will be thick!
Finally, add the chocolate chips and scrape the batter into a prepared pan to bake!
Top Recipe Tip
To prepare the pan, grease it with coconut oil and insert a parchment sling.
This will allow you to remove the Vegan Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blondies from the pan to cut them.
Top Natural Peanut Butter Recommendations
It is important to use natural peanut butter in this recipe. The kind that needs a stir before you use it.
My favorite peanut butter brand is Teddie. But, if you can't find it, I also like Smuckers.
Make Your Own Oat Flour
Do not use store-bought oat flour in this 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.
Variations
Use any nut butter you like in this recipe! You could use almond butter, cashew 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.
Storage
To store, allow the Vegan Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blondies to cool then cut them into squares. Then, place them into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to four days.
