Sweet, delicious gluten-free White Chocolate Ube Blondies that you can (and should) eat for breakfast!
If you’ve seen any of my stories or posts about my journey to creating vegan protein powders, you know I tested different flavors, textures and formulations for nearly TWO YEARS to get them right.
It’s no small feat to nail the flavor of ube (a Japanese purple yam) with a slightly sweet and nutty essence. But once I did, I was able to create some of the most amazing treats, including these Protein White Chocolate Ube Blondies!
Key ingredients for this recipe
Obviously, my Ube Soft Serve Sculpt+Debloat Protein Powder is #1 😉
Seriously though, the flavor profile of ube is so unique! There really isn’t a substitute on the market for it. What I love about this recipe is that it’s gluten-free, super filling and sweet without being overly so. I actually love these Ube Blondies as a quick breakfast because they’re so filling.
The white chocolate chips add some flavor dimension and texture! If you’re anti-chocolate chips in your blondies, just leave them out!
Lastly, a good, creamy and drippy cashew butter allows these to be thick and hearty. The mellow nutty flavor from the cashews compliments the ube perfectly.
Making Ube Blondies is super simple
This recipe couldn’t be any easier. Any time you can throw a few ingredients into one bowl (#easycleanup), I’m all for it.
When a recipes is this simple, there’s really no excuse not to make your own treats from home rather than buying them. When you do, you know exactly what’s going into your dish, and your body!
