There’s something incredibly comforting about blondies. Maybe it’s the soft texture, the way the chocolate melts into pockets of sweetness, or just the fact that they come together so easily on a quiet afternoon.
If you’re looking for a healthier way to enjoy a classic dessert, these Eggless Wholewheat Blondies are a must-try. They are soft, slightly chewy, and full of rich chocolate flavor. Unlike traditional blondies, this version uses wholewheat flour, jaggery, and a flax egg instead of refined ingredients and eggs.
Now, this is my go-to bake when I want something sweet without going overboard. And the best part? You probably have everything you need in your kitchen already.
Ingredients Breakdown
Let’s talk about what goes into this recipe and why each ingredient works:
Ground Flaxseed + Water
This combination creates a flax egg. It acts as a binder, just like a regular egg would.
Jaggery
Jaggery gives these blondies a warm, caramel-like flavor. It’s a great unrefined alternative to white sugar.
Ghee or Butter
Ghee adds a rich flavor and keeps the texture soft. You can use unsalted butter as well.
Wholewheat Flour
Wholewheat flour adds fiber and makes the blondies more filling. It also gives a slightly nutty taste.
Baking Soda
A small amount of baking soda gives the blondies just enough lift.
Vanilla Extract and Salt
Vanilla adds flavor depth, and salt balances the sweetness.
Chocolate
Use white or milk chocolate chips/chunks. Both melt beautifully into the blondie batter.
Milk
Add some extra milk and keep the batter in thick ribbon consistency for a fudgy texture.
Tips for Perfect Blondies
- Keep the batter in thick ribbon consistency, add some more milk, for a fudgy texture.
- Use a lined or greased 8×8-inch pan for easy removal.
- Let the blondies cool before slicing to get neat squares.
Variations
- Vegan version: Use plant-based butter or coconut oil instead of ghee.
- Nutty twist: Add chopped almonds or walnuts for extra texture.
- Dark chocolate version: Swap white chocolate with dark chocolate chunks.
