These gluten free toffee blondie bars are absolutely delicious! Don’t need them to be gluten free? Just use regular flour instead.

A few weeks ago I was craving one of my favorite sweet treats, these gluten free toffee blondie bars. They’re one of my very favorite cookie bars and they never last very long because they’re so delicious.

I like to think of them as a thick, chewy version of my favorite chocolate chip cookie, but with a twist. A delicious twist. The toffee part of these blondie bars brings them to the next level. If you love toffee, you’ll love these!

Gluten Free Toffee Blondie Bars

I made these bars all the time before going gluten free (almost 10 years ago now!), so don’t be scared away from this recipe if you don’t need them to be gluten free. Just use regular flour instead and keep everything else the same.

After going gluten free, I honestly missed these bars. I would pass them in my recipe box looking for other recipes and always wish I could make a big batch. I was hesitant to try and convert them over to gluten free for fear of being disappointed with the outcome. Turns out, this recipe works beautifully with gluten free flour.

I’ve made them with several different variations of gluten free flour and they’ve been great each time. I will say though, that the grittiness level of the bars completely depends on which flour blend you choose to use. For these specific bars, I used this Namaste gluten free flour blend and it worked beautifully.

The key to these bars, is not to over bake them. That can sometimes be tricky with gluten free baking, but use a toothpick to check the center. The edges should be golden brown, but the top will be shiny.

Our sweet Ania loved these too. She’s a good eater and it makes my heart happy that she already knows homemade goodies. She also loves to sit at my feet while I bake or cook and she just takes it all in.

Of course, she loves to be a taste tester too…

I hope you love this recipe as much as we do! 🙂

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
