Hi fellow dessert-loving friends! As you know, I’m all about trying to figure out a way to make desserts healthy. And while there are some ingredients that just aren’t going to be ashealth-boostingfor you as a stalk of celery, there are ways to reduce the indulgent while upping the healthy. So, in today’s post, I’m sharing my latestHealthy Sunbutter Oat Blondies Recipe: Fudgy, Ooey-Gooey, and Delicious!
Cake or Fudgy Blondies: Which Do You Prefer?
Because either way, I got you covered! Stay here for fudgy and check out this recipe for cake-like blondies.
Personally, my texture preference depends on my mood. For instance, some days I want cakey blondies and others I prefer ooey-gooey and fudgy!
Unlike my Coconut Spelt Blondies, these are much more fudgy and rich in taste and texture. I think we can thank the sunbutter for that.
Seed Butter vs Nut Butter
Sunbutter is a great nut-butter-like ingredient in place of almond or peanut butter since sunbutter is made from sunflower seeds. So, it’s a seed-butter!
Therefore, this could be great for any of you guys out there allergic to tree nuts. Don’t quote me, but there’s a chance you can still have sunbutter! Check with your doctor to be sure – these nut allergies are no joke, and it seems like an allergy to one can stretch out to similar foods. But it’s def worth looking into!
Health-Boosting Sunbutter
Sunbutter is pretty darn healthy for you too. According to this article by Dr. Axe, sunbutter is high in protein and loaded with vitamin E and magnesium.
And did you know a deficiency in magnesium can hurt your sleeping?! For example, I remember when I was having trouble sleeping, I wondered if a deficiency in magnesium could have been part of the cause.
If only I had this recipe back then!
Healthy Fats for thisHealthy Sunbutter Oat Blondies Recipe
Thanks to the sunbutter, I was also able to skip butter, vegan butter alternatives, and oil. The sunbutter covers all of that!
I mean, I won’t be eating a whole baking dish of these, but let’s be real…if you’re going to eat blondies, you’re going to eat blondies. At least you can make them healthier and sneak ingredients into your eats that have nutrition-boosting properties. Woop!
Because thisHealthy Sunbutter Oat Blondies Recipeis so rich and delicious, I found I only needed one square to satisfy my dessert stomach.
You have one of those too, right? A dessert stomach.
When my regular stomach is full, I pretty much always have room for something sweet. And with this filling treat, one square will do the trick!
