http://www.veganbaking.net/ 63-1596 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies I'm sure I must have done something wrong, although I really did follow the recipe (for a change). A real shame, as I had pinned this a while ago and was looking forward to trying it, hoping it might resemble the almond blondies I am crazy about at Cookies & Scream. But this came out hard and dry - and with the amounts of coconut oil and rice syrup in here, not a cheap recipe to end up throwing in the bin! Still, my husband and I enjoyed a coffee while picking out all the pecans... Sorry Matti. ]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 09:54:11 -0400 63-1494 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies I used unrefined coconut oil and love the coconut flavor it gave them. Makes the oatmeal seem like coconut flakes. I also added 1/2 cup chocolate chips which I recommend if your a chocolate lover. Very dense, chewy and filling. I will make these again! ]]> Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:50:04 -0400 63-1450 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies So good that even my non-vegan husband, who is not a big sweets person to begin with, ate half the pan last night!!! Thanks for the great recipe! ]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:01:00 -0500 63-1260 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies Hi again Mattie :) I was wondering if brown rice syrup is really necessary for this recipe, or if I could successfully sub it with maple, honey, or any other sweet syrup? ]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:43:21 -0500 63-506 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies Loved this recipe. This was better than any vegan desert (store-bought or homemade) I've had since I really went vegan six months ago; doesn't seem vegan because it's so buttery-tasting. Non-vegan mom loved them and wants me to make again. I added Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips (I'm a chocolate lover), which made the bars taste kind of like chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Next time I will add more pecans, maybe a whole cup (I love nuts, too). ]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:44:21 -0400 63-439 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies wax paper is not a great idea for baking! use parchment paper instead..... otherwise AMAZING recipe, thanks so much!!!! ]]> Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:03:05 -0400
