Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoon chia seeds
6 tbsp water
1 ¼ cup white whole wheat flour can substitute all-purpose flour
¾ cup oat flour can substitute all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 tsp vanilla
¾ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup olive oil extra virgin
6 ounces chocolate chips half of a standard sized bag of chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
Line a bar pan with parchment baking paper.
Place chia seeds and water in a small bowl and stir. Set aside to soak for at least 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Place the sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl (or the bowl that comes with your stand mixer, if using) and mix well. Either use a whisk (if mixing by hand) or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer.
Add chia mixture (it should have a gel like consistency before adding). Mix well.
Add half of the flour mixture and mix until most is incorporated.
Add the rest of the flour mixture and mix just until all flour is incorporated.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread dough out evenly over the bar pan by pressing down firmly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in the oven for about 22 minutes or until the edges are golden in color.
Remove from oven and let cool before slicing into squares.

Notes

If you are not using parchment paper, grease the pan well instead.

If you do not have a bar pan, a 9x13 baking dish can be used.

Let the chia seeds sit in water for at least 5-10 minutes to form a gel. This will help with the structure of the blondies.

The dough will be very thick when fully mixed. This is normal.

You may use light or dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will make the blondies darker in color.

All-purpose flour can be used in place of either the white whole wheat or oat flours. This change will lighten the blondie and reduce the fiber content of the recipe.

Flax seeds can be used in place of chia seeds. If substituting eggs for the chia seeds, do not add water to the recipe.

Softened butter can be used in place of olive oil. This will add dairy to the recipe and it will also change the fat profile.
