I had another blondie recipe uploaded but had trouble converting it to be gluten-free. Some recipes are fickle! So I rewrote it and this one admittedly is much better. The addition of the coconut gives an extra chewiness

Ingredients

1 hour 30 mins
16 servings
  1. 400 gramslight brown sugar (2 packed cups)
  2. 112 grams (1/2 cup)gold-foil wrapped Stork block margarine
  3. 1 tbspVickys Best Egg Replacer for Gluten-Free Baking recipe from my profile or Ener-G brand*
  4. 60 ml (1/4 cup)full fat coconut milk
  5. 1 tspvanilla extract
  6. 158 grams (1 cup)rice flour
  7. 125 grams (1 cup)cornstarch
  8. 2 tspbaking powder
  9. 1/4 tspsalt
  10. 100 grams (1 cup)desiccated coconut

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 mins
  1. 1

    If using Ener-G or another brand egg replacer, add a half teaspoon xanthan gum to your ingredients. My egg replacer already contains some

  2. 2

    Melt the butter and sugar together gently over a low heat in a heavy-bottomed pan. Let it cook for 10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble

  3. 3

    Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 30 minutes, stirring now and again so the mix doesn't set. It will become thick like caramel

  4. 4

    Meanwhile line an 8"x 8" square tin with parchment paper and preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F

  5. 5

    Combine the egg replacer and coconut milk and mix together well. Set aside

  6. 6

    Combine the flour, starch, baking powder and salt in another bowl

  7. 7

    Pour the cooled caramel into a mixer bowl and on a low speed beat in the egg replacer/milk mixture and vanilla

  8. 8

    Beat the flour mix into the caramel in batches to form a dough

  9. 9

    When fully incorporated beat the desiccated coconut into the caramel dough

  10. 10

    Press the dough into the lined tin. It will be very stiff

  11. 11

    Bake for 30 minutes until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the tin

  12. 12

    Cool in the tin then turn out and cut into 2" squares
