Gluten-free Vegan Cassava Blondies

Hi my wonderful friends!

In my last post where I featured the recipe for Cassava Chocolate cupcakes, there was a photo of dessert platter that included these Cassava Blondies.

These too are not only easy to make but gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free and banana free!

They turned out so gooey and delicious that I couldn’t tell its gluten-free! What I love about this dessert is the peace of mind of the ingredients used.

This recipe is not mine – I found it on Otto’s Cassava Flour’s Instagram page, got it from @eatingevolved. (just substituted flax egg with chia eggs).

Here you go! Try it out and share with us below how you like them 🙂
