Gluten Free Blondies Applebees Copycat Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. For thick blondies, use an 8x8-inch square pan. For thin blondies, use a 9x13-inch pan. Line the with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on two opposite sides of the pan.
• Whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Whisk until creamy. Add gluten-free flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until the batter is thick and smooth. If using chocolate chips and/or nuts, stir them in now. Spread batter into prepared pan. If using a 9x13-inch pan, it might look like there's not enough batter for the pan. Use a small spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the batter into the pan.
• Bake until bars are golden brown and the top is shiny and slightly cracked. About 35 minutes for an 8-inch pan and 30 minutes for a 9x13-inch pan. Place pan on a wire rack to cool. Bars will sink in the middle as they cool. Lift bars out of the pan with the overhanging parchment paper. Place bars on a cutting board and cut into squares with a sharp knife. When cut, the bars might look underbaked. That's normal. They are very moist and buttery.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. Freeze cooled bars in a freezer container for up to two months. If you need to stack the bars, place a piece of parchmene paper or waxed paper between the layers.
