These gluten free mini eggs blondies are a revelation – not only are they the FIRST ever baked good I’ve made using Cadbury mini eggs, they’re also ridiculously easy, filled with indulgent browned butter, and are the perfect treat for Easter morning or for any sweet gifts you want to share with friends and family this weekend. They’re also the first thing I’ve baked back in my house in Oxford in over a month and it feels so incredibly good to get to be creative in the kitchen again. It’s certainly been a bit of a bizarre last 5 weeks with some really challenging and emotional experiences and decisions, so…

Gluten Free Caramelized White Chocolate Blondies
White chocolate has always been one of those things that I never really got. Why take the chocolate out of chocolate? Why go with just the cocoa butter and a mild, dusty, warm sweetness that lacks the bold depth and bright bite of chocolate chocolate? I must admit, after splurging on some high-quality white chocolate for this and a few other baking projects, I now understand the appeal (though I still prefer a good milk or dark any day). The buttery closeness of a soft, hazy white chocolate is quite delicious. Now, when I started seeing trays of molten white chocolate deepening into rich, sultry caramel colors on so many…

They truly are the magic marker of the dessert realm. You can throw in beans, avocado, pumpkin puree, applesauce, anything! And brownies still turn out to be the most indulgent, gooiest, fudgiest treats you could ever ask for. How they manage this, I don’t know. It’s one of those baking secrets we all strive to uncover. But while we’re puzzling over the versatility and consistency of brownies, why not make some? And while you’re at it, make some cakey, buttery…

Gluten Free Macadamia and White Chocolate Blondies
All hail the golden-girl (or boy) of the dessert world: the Blondie. While you might be astonished, and rightly so, that anyone would want to make a chocolate-less brownie, don’t pass up these sugar-laden, butter-heavy squares until you’ve given them their proper taste-testing. Gluten free blondies are an old after-school favorite of mine – my grandma used to throw a batch of these into the oven mid-afternoon and drive to pick us up from high school with a few (still warm) bars tucked away in a paper towel between the front seats. Blondies will now forever take me back to those delicious rides home, munching on the melt-in-your-mouth, often-coconut-topped, blondies…
