Gluten Free Blondies with chocolate chips

These gluten free blondies with chocolate chips "blondies with roots" are sweet and cakey blondie bars studded with chocolate chips. Refined sugar free, dairy-free, and vegan too!

I have always loved blondies so when Debbie from Sweet Debbie's Organic Cupcakes asked me to review her cookbook, Sweet Debbie's Organic Treats: Allergy-Free and Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery it was the first recipes I tried.

I love the hint of mystery that the cardamom and coriander add. They really compliment the flavors of the blondie and add a depth of flavor that is subtle, but still present. I really loved using Debbie's flour blend, and am excited to use it in some of my own recipes. All of her ingredients are chosen considering their nutritional value, including the flour. None of her recipes use sugar either! Coconut nectar and stevia are the sweeteners used in this recipe and being low glycemic I felt better feeding Miss E a second blondie and taking a third for myself.

Because of the added moisture of the coconut nectar these blondies are definitely on the cakey side and although I'm normally a fudgy brownie girl I really loved the flavor of these bars.

Also, I find the name of these blondies so clever. I have never been a bottle blond and had to worry about exposed roots, but isn't everything better with just a little chocolate?
