A Sweet Discovery
My Favorite is Vegan Strawberry Blondies and I first stumbled upon the idea of Vegan Strawberry Blondies when I was experimenting with different vegan desserts. The sunny days were perfect for trying out new recipes, and I was craving something light and fruity. I remembered how much I loved the blend of strawberries and cream in desserts, so I thought, why not create a blondie that captures that flavor? With a few basic ingredients, I began my journey to make these delicious treats.
Mixing It Up
The kitchen was alive with the sounds of mixing bowls and the aroma of fresh strawberries. I started by blending unsweetened almond milk with ground flaxseeds and apple cider vinegar. It was amazing to see the mixture thicken up just like an egg would in a traditional recipe. Then, I combined whole wheat pastry flour with cane sugar and cinnamon. The process was simple but felt so satisfying as the ingredients came together to form a lovely, fragrant batter.
The Perfect Bake
Once I poured the batter into the baking pan and added strawberries and walnuts, I was excited to see how it would turn out. I carefully arranged the strawberries cut side down and sprinkled the walnuts for a nice crunch. As the blondies baked in the oven, the kitchen was filled with a mouthwatering scent. After 40 minutes, the edges were golden-brown, and I couldn’t wait to taste the final product.
A Delightful Treat
When the blondies were finally cooled and cut into squares, I was thrilled with the results. Each bite was a perfect blend of sweet strawberries, crunchy walnuts, and a hint of cinnamon. They were a hit with everyone who tried them, and I loved serving them with a dollop of aquafaba whipped cream. These Vegan Strawberry Blondies quickly became a favorite, perfect for a summer treat or a comforting dessert.

Chef’s Notes-Vegan Strawberry Blondies
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor. Overripe strawberries will work too but may release more juice, making the blondies a bit softer.
- The batter should be thick but not dry. If it seems too thick, you can add a bit more plant-based milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Be gentle when mixing the wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to dense blondies. Stir until just combined.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting. This helps them set and makes them easier to cut into neat squares.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve these blondies with a dollop of aquafaba whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla nice cream.
