Easy Gluten Free Coconut Blondies
Gluten Free Blondies with Coconut and Chocolate :
Fragrant coconut and rich dark chocolate are one of my favorite flavor combinations of all time. This iconic pairing sets the backdrop for these easy gluten free blondies, a sure party favorite. We shared these with our neighbors at a New Year’s Eve party and the crowd was pleased indeed. My kids love these for an afternoon snack with fresh fruit and I love them anytime.
Cooking Time: 28 mins
Cooking Temp: 325 degrees
Ingredients:
5 T softened unsalted butter
½ c brown sugar
¼ c granulated sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
1 t coconut extract
¼ c milk
2 Cups King Arthur’s Gluten- Free Flour Blend)
1 t baking powder
⅛ t xanthum gum*
½ t salt
¼ c shredded unsweetened coconut
½ c chocolate chips
*Pro tip I always add extra xanthum gum even if my flour has it included. I find that it affords more structure to baked goods
Steps:
- First preheat the oven to 325 degrees, prepare an 8×8 metal baking dish lined with parchment paper and set aside. Then in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attached cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until well incorporated.
- Next add the egg, vanilla extract, coconut extract and milk on medium speed for about thirty seconds.
- Incorporate the gluten free flour, baking powder, xanthum gum, and salt, be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to avoid clumping.
- The mixture will be slightly stiff at this point, fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
- Lastly, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish ensuring that you press the mixture to fully fit the dish. Bake for 28 mins, the blondies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool thoroughly before cutting. Enjoy!!
Though cooking with a metal pan offers even heating. I find that with gluten free baking especially, that silicone pans like this one are user friendly. Moreover, it is difficult achieving uniform bakes, and these individual wells make it a lot easier.
