Coconut Oil Blondies
You guys!! Where has the time gone?
Christmas is just a little over 2 weeks away, and I have only a handful of presents bought.
Do you think people would accept some baked goods as a Christmas gift? Because these blondies... They would be my favorite gift to give right now.
The great thing about these blondies is that you can put anything into them: chocolate chips, cranberries, crushed up candy canes...or a mix of all of those. Be creative! Maybe a different flavor for every gift you are making!
I just bought a large jar of coconut oil this weekend, and it is making my WEEK! Opening the jar and smelling the coconut...it reminds me of being 14 and working at a bubble tea store in the mall. My FAVORITE drink to make was real taro and coconut bubble tea. That drink was what I would drink in my teenage years. Along with matcha milkshakes and real mango bubble tea...
But the smell alone makes me want to bake with it at every single opportunity I can. And making these brownies was definitely one of them.
Now that I have finally been introduced to blondies in my own kitchen, I invite everyone to join me! Can you think of a better Christmas gift?
Unless you wanted a new laptop. But these blondies might very well come in a close second.

Made these today, everyone over today loved them. Quick question, one family member serous gluten issues, can I substitute Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free flour for AP flour? Thank you.
I am so glad you all liked them! And yes, that would be a good substitute for the all purpose flour!
I just omitted the almond extract because I didn’t have any on hand so I just added a little more vanilla extract!
Loved this recipe! It was so quick and easy to make!
So glad you liked it! 🙂
