Vegan Brown Sugar Blondies
Who says healthy can't be fun? These gorgeous Brown Sugar Blondies are easy to whip up and bake like a charm. They come out with a crispy top, gooey center, and tons of insanely delicious brown sugar flavor. I added a kick of Mapeline, which is a maple extract that is way better than the usual maple extract. You can sometimes find it near the spices in grocery stores, though not all have it. I've found it at Walmart (when I can drag myself into the place), and happen upon it every now and then in the syrup section of some grocers. If you can't find it, feel free to leave the Mapeline out, but by all means, make this recipe regardless! We served our blondies in bowls, drenched in Silk soymilk and the kids couldn't get enough. And by kids, I mean me.

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
