    Chocolate Chip Apricot Blondies

    Published: Sep 1, 2011 · Updated: Feb 25, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Here’s a fruity variation on brownies — with plenty of dried apricots and a dollop of applesauce — that my family likes just as much as the all-chocolate version.

    Makes: 9 to 12 squares or 8 to 12 wedges

    • 1 ½ cups spelt or whole wheat pastry flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • Pinch of ground nutmeg
    • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, optional
    • ½ cup applesauce or vanilla nondairy yogurt
    • ¼ cup maple syrup or agave nectar
    • 2 tablespoons safflower oil
    • ¼ cup plain or vanilla rice milk, or as needed
    • ¾ cup finely diced dried apricots
    • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, preferably cane juice sweetened
    • ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts, optional

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the first four (dry) ingredients plus the optional flaxseeds and stir together.

    Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt, syrup, oil, and enough rice milk to make a smooth and slightly stiff batter. Stir until completely mixed. Stir in the apricots, chocolate chips, and optional walnuts.

    Transfer the mixture to a lightly oiled 9- by 9-inch baking pan or 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center tests clean (with the exception melted chocolate chips).

    Allow to cool in the pan until just warm, then cut into squares or wedges to serve.
