I started doing something new in my house a few weeks ago. I grabbed one of my old notebooks, placed it next to the cake plate in the kitchen that holds whatever baked goods are around, and I listed sections for each of the baked goods that I had around at the moment. Then I told my housemates to go write their comments.

Even I can get bored of describing new recipes, because there are only so many ways to describe a cookie or a cake. So now, I can bring you comments, straight from the voices of my housemates and the other various college-aged individuals who pass through my house and try the baked goods to come out of my kitchen. So far, results are good.

When I made these Paleo Chocolate Chip Blondies, I purposely left out any mention of the Paleo-friendly, gluten and sugar-free, healthy aspect of these bars. I just wrote chocolate chip blondies and waited to see if anyone noticed. The first comment:

  • Egg or Flax Egg: make sure to use a flax egg to keep them vegan if desired.
  • Vanilla Extract: for delicious flavor.
  • Almond Flour: blanched almond flour is preferred. Hazelnut flour, sunflower seed flour, and tigernut flour also work. Oat flour can be used, but only use 2/3 cup.
  • Baking Soda & Salt: for the best rise/texture & flavor! Don’t substitute these.
  • Dark Chocolate: I love using big chocolate chunks, but chips will also be delicious. If you’re strict Paleo, try making your own Paleo chocolate chunks to use.
