Lavender Peach Blondies

Last Updated on November 13, 2019 by Chef Mireille

Blondies are brownies made without chocolate. While I love chocolate, I am not one of those who want chocolate in every dessert. Especially at this time when desserts are everywhere with holiday parties, I always look for the rare fruit based desserts or just plain sugar cookies. When you are planning the dessert options for your holiday party, make sure you include at least one non chocolate dessert for people like me. With or without the lavender, its a delicious addition to your holiday table.

Continuing with my lavender tea party theme I am sporadically including within my Bake-a-thon posts, here is another lavender infused dessert. I also made this a healthful fiber rich version by using all whole grains. Einkorn flour has an easily digestible form of gluten which you can read more about here, so this is also a low gluten brownie. While those who are allergic to gluten still shouldn’t eat them, for those who simply have an intolerance and often complain about bloating after eating gluten, this is a fabulous treat.
