How to do it
- PREHEAT your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- LINE an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- MIX Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Dilettoso Vava Vanilla Mix, protein powder, and salt.
- COMBINE Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk nut butter, applesauce, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- MIX Everything: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined. The batter will be thick.
- FOLD in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
- BAKE: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, then sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- COOL & SERVE: Let the blondies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- ENJOY warm or at room temperature!

Did you know?
Did you know that blondies are considered the "vanilla version" of brownies? While brownies rely on cocoa for their deep flavor, blondies highlight vanilla and caramel-like notes, making them the perfect canvas for mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts!
