Chocolate chip blondies, resplendent in all their gooey perfection. It really is hit and miss to give these the exact right amount of time in the oven. They have to be cooked through but equally, no point in a blondie (or brownie) if they are more like a cake texture – they just have to be gooey. And these are perfection; I’m so happy with them.
They’re pretty easy to make too, and of course free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs.
Now someone please tear me away from the kitchen before I devour the lot!
