These gluten-free and vegan Salted Caramel Blondies are out of this world! Made with all healthier ingredients and mixed with a homemade caramel sauce inside.
GUYSSSS! Welcome to one of the many recipes I made back in November that I am finally sharing with you today.
But I promise these recipes were well worth the wait if you ask me. I have been cooking and baking like a crazy person trying to prepare for maternity leave. And these insanely good Salted Caramel Blondies are just some of what you guys have coming for you.
I am absolutely obsessed with this recipe for a few recipes. But for starters – it has a homemade salted caramel sauce (I used mine from my 100 Grand Bars). And it has the best doughy and fudgey consistency in the center and a crispy crunchy outside. With a perfect sprinkle of sea salt right on top. You will be in absolute heaven when you make these.
I love having these gluten-free caramel blondies with some ice cream on top. Warm up the blondie and add a generous spoonful (or a few) of vanilla bean ice cream or whatever you have on hand. You will forever be in heaven. And you can even drizzle some extra caramel sauce on top if you have some left over. Or some peanut butter does the trick too!
What ingredients you need to make these gluten-free Salted Caramel Blondies:
- Flax egg
- Vegan butter – or use regular butter!

How to bake delicious vegan caramel blondies:

- Cream together egg, butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth
- Mix in oat flour and baking powder until fully combined
- Fold in walnuts then mix in homemade caramel
- Add batter to loaf pan, sprinkle sea salt on top then bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes (I stick toothpick in to see what they are ready)

I have made this 5 times in the past two months. I keep a batch of the salted caramel on hand for when the craving strikes. SO GOOD
Rachel
omg YAY!!

I subbed monk fruit sugar for 1/2 the coconut sugar (I ran out of coconut sugar) and used a real egg. They are tasty but came out really fluffy and more like cornbread in texture, rather than fudgey and crispy on top. Any idea why that might have been?
Rachel
yes you subbed 2 ingredients – anytime subs are used i cannot guarantee recipe will turn out 🙂 especially flax eggs vs eggs
Megan
Do you think raw sugar or maple syrup, instead of the coconut sugar, would work ok?
Rachel
i haven’t tried but cane sugar should!
