It’s May, it’s farmer’s market season, which also means: BERRY SEASON BABY! I always celebrate the seasonal shift with a new recipe so SECRET INGREDIENT GRAIN-FREE VEGAN STRAWBERRY BLONDIES ARE GOING DOWN! 🍰🍓❤️
Perfect for an easy, sweet breakfast, picnics, barbecues, and just about any sunshine-filled occasion. Free from grains, dairy, sugar, and oil, they can’t possibly be any healthier or any more delish!
They also incorporate two superfood powders from Navitas Organics: Superberry Powder and Elderberry Powder. They add berry flavor, vibrant color, and a nutritional boost to boot!

Ingredients:
1/2 c granulated Lakanto monkfruit
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

2 golden flax egg (or egg replacer of choice)
