Instructions

Prepare Your Baking Pan and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking pan with unsweetened plant-based butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Measure all ingredients carefully to ensure perfect proportions in your batter and toffee sauce.
Make the Blondie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream together the unsweetened plant-based butter and brown sugar (natural) until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural), mixing steadily until the batter is uniform. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just blended to keep the tender texture.
Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Prepare the Sea Salt Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine brown rice syrup (natural), unsweetened plant-based butter, a pinch of sea salt, and a splash of plant-based milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often, and whisk in the natural gelling agent to achieve a silky, thick consistency. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before drizzling.
Assemble and Serve: Cut the cooled blondies into squares, then generously drizzle with your luscious sea salt toffee sauce. For added flair, sprinkle more sea salt on top to highlight the sweet and salty contrast. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.

Notes

Choose quality ingredients such as higher-quality brown sugar (natural) and plant-based butter for enhanced flavor.
Do not overbake; check a few minutes before the recommended time to keep the blondies fudgy.
Use fresh flaky sea salt to enhance texture and for beautiful sprinkles over the toffee sauce.
Stir constantly while simmering the sauce to prevent burning and to achieve the smoothest texture.
Let the sauce cool slightly before drizzling so it clings to the blondies but stays warm.
