    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    These blondies are the best parts of dairy-free brownies and chocolate chip cookies combined! So there are many reasons to love this recipe. But here are my top 5:

    • This recipe is easy to make.
    • You only need 9 ingredients!
    • And you need NO specialty gluten-free flours.
    • They are full of peanut butter and dark chocolate flavor.
    • This recipe comes together right in a bowl!

    Ingredient Notes

    Photo of ingredients needed to make this recipe.

    Homemade Oat Flour: Instead of flour, this recipe uses homemade oat flour. Oat flour keeps these vegan gluten free blondies soft and chewy.

    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!

    Variations and Substitutions

    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

    Oat flour in a white bowl.

    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.

    flax egg added into the peanut butter mixture

    Step 3. Add the flax egg and vanilla and mix.

    oat flour added into the mixture

    Step 4. Add the homemade oat flour, baking powder and salt and fold to incorporate. The mixture will be thick!

    chocolate chips stirred into the blondie batter

    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

    How should I store these Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies?

    Place the blondies into an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to a month!

    Can I substitute store bought oat flour?

    No! It will absorb too much and the blondies may come out dry.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    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 Chocolate Chip Blondies from the pan to cut them.
