    Gluten free Blondies are often referred to as an alternative to the richness of brownies. I think has been fairly underrated as the flavor and texture are so good in their own right. Adding the raspberries and jam just gives it a fresh summer vibe. They deserve a place at any dessert table and are great for any party or event.

    Other bars that are perfect for masking ahead are my gluten free brookies, gluten free millionaire's shortbread ,and gluten free cheesecake brownies.

    Blondie vs Brownie

    Many would say that as there is chocolate in the batter they are a white chocolate brownie with raspberries rather than a blondie. As blondies are made without chocolate in the batter. I don't really mind either way and you can call them Raspberry and white chocolate blondies or gluten-free raspberry and white chocolate brownies. They still taste amazing whatever you call them. If you are a brownie lover you might also like gluten free brownies or gluten free blondies.

    Dairy free Brownies

    That’s no problem if you require gluten-dairy-free white chocolate brownies. This recipe is easily adapted for dairy free as it uses oil instead of butter you can just switch out the white chocolate for your favorite dairy-free white chocolate. So no need for you to miss out.

    Ingredients

    ingredients needed for this recipe

    Equipment

    • 8x8 baking tin lined with Greaseproof paper

    Ingredients

    • Gluten free Plain Flour - Most gluten free plain flours will work well in this recipe. I used Doves free from as this is my preferred flour to use.
    • Brown Sugar - Makes them fudgier and with a hint of caramel flavor.
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Vegetable oil - You can use any oil that has a neutral flavor such as Canola oil or alternatively you can use the same quantity needed of melted butter for the recipe.
    • White Chocolate - Always check that the chocolate brand used is gluten free as some brands may contain gluten.
    • Water
    • Large eggs - Kept at room temperature
    • Baking Powder - Acts as a leavening and rising agent by reacting to the heat.
    • Vanilla - adds additional flavor that complements the brown sugar nicely.
    • Xanthan Gum - prevents the ingredients from separating as it is a stabilizer. Essentially acting like gluten gelling everything together.
    • Pinch of Salt
    • Frozen Raspberries - I prefer to use frozen raspberries but you could use fresh if preferred.
    • Raspberry jam - Creates a beautiful tart-like flavor. Tastes and looks so good when used on top of the batter.
    • Extra White Chocolate for decoration if desired.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Recipe Tips

    • Gluten Free Flour – I used a shop bought Gluten free flour blend from Doves Farm Freee from range. Which is a flour blend of Rice, Potato, Tapioca, Maize and Buckwheat flour. I have had reports that others have used Bob’s Red Mill and other Gluten free All purpose blends with my recipes that have worked well. I would love to know what flour blends worked for you. So feel free to get in touch by leaving a comment below or you can contact me directly.
    • Kitchen Scales - Using digital scales is recommended when baking. I always measure using scales and grams as baking is a science. When baking gluten free it is essential to weigh out ingredients to get the best results! There is no need to purchase expensive digital scales and you can find them available cheaply online.
    • Oven Temperatures - Your oven temperature may be slightly different. As all ovens vary in temperature and the baking time is used as a guide. Some ovens run hotter than others. You could invest in an oven thermometer to be more accurate.

    Recipe FAQs

    Why are my blondies dry?

    They simply have been overbaked. Ensure to take them out of the oven when the skewer comes out almost clean and leave them to cool in the tin before placing them in the fridge to fully set.

    Can I make it Gluten and dairy free?

    Yes of course. This recipe is easily adapted for dairy free as it uses oil instead of butter you can just switch out the white chocolate for your favorite dairy free white chocolate.

    can I use just brown sugar in the recipe?

    Yes, Just increase the brown sugar to 200g (replacing the granulated sugar) this will give them an increased caramel and fudgier flavor and texture.

    Do they need to be refrigerated?

    I would advise that they should be refrigerated to fully set but then once set can be placed in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    what is the best way to store them?

    They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for you to enjoy for up to 3-5 days. I recommend you remove it from the fridge an hour before eating to allow the blondies to come to room temperature but can also be eaten straight from the fridge.

    Can I freeze them?

    The Blondies can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Then add melted chocolate on top once defrosted.
