I baked this Vegan Cashew Blondies for my neighbor’s book club last week. The cashews made them soft and nutty, and my sister liked them.
Delicious Vegan Cashew Blondies
These cashew blondies are a perfect counterpart to traditional brownies, offering a chewy texture and irresistible nutty flavor. Made with wholesome ingredients, this recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields a batch of 12 blondies.

- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in baking soda, salt, and almond flour until well combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
