I bake these soft blondies when I need high protein snacks that still taste like dessert. The batter starts creamy and smells like vanilla and warm peanut butter. I stir, I scrape the bowl, and I already want a corner piece. Once baked, the bars cool and settle with shiny chips on top and a tender crumb that stays soft for days. We use a simple mix that I keep on my counter oat flour, almond flour, and a scoop of whey or casein. Brown sugar gives a light caramel note. Applesauce keeps the middle gooey. A spoon of milk brings the batter together without heavy butter. If you love high protein recipes or a high protein recipe that feels like a real treat, this one fits the bill. I serve a square with coffee after the gym and I do not miss bakery cake. Friends ask for the banana blondies recipe and the apple blondies recipe version, and we swap ideas. You can even slice a warm piece and top it with yogurt like high protein pancakes. Make a batch for meal prep or an easy high protein dinner dessert. Calm, simple, and very good.
