Wait.
Wasn’t it just like week, we were discussing food and gender stereotypes and how sprinkles MAY have fallen into the female category?
Well, let’s quash that now, along with life’s unnecessary things, like Niki and kale pollution and war.
I can’t help it.
Deal with it.
Can we take a hot minute to talk about Australia VS America in terms of lingo?
Blondie VS Brownie VS slice.
At first glance, I would have called today’s recipe a slice. Back in Australia, unless it had chocolate in it, we’d call any ‘blondie’ style recipe a slice.
Fruit blondie- Fruit lice.
Snickers Blondie- Snickers Slice.
Mars Bar Blondie- Mars Bar Slice.
Jello Blondie- Jelly Slice.
Ha- Did you get that too? We call Jello JELLY- Not to be confused with jam which you call JELLY.
Geebuz.
I’ve just confused myself even more now.
Safe to say, Blondies = Slice and we’ll leave it at that. If anyone even TRIES to get me started on the Scone VS Scone debate, I will actually cry a river like Justin Timberlake sang about.
Let’s talk about these slices blondies. I’ve loved experimenting with flax eggs and egg substitutes in my baking. While it allows my vegan friends to have an option with my recipes, it also allows for one very important thing (well, for this recipe anyway)– To trial out several textures.
When it comes to slices blondies, my taste buds are greedy. Sometimes I like them to be thick, dense and firm throughout (Mars Bar slice, I’m looking at you). Other times, I love it tender and firm on the outside but moist and gooey on the inside. These healthy flourless cake batter blondies falls into BOTH camps.
I trialled baking them in both a loaf pan, a large pyrex and also a generic 9 x 9 pan. All three, coupled with varying cooking times, produce different results. All were delicious but all had a different texture.
Whether you’re on team dense and firm or team moist and gooey, you’re covered.
These healthy flourless cake batter blondies are a quick and easy snack or healthy dessert recipe to have on hand. They use a simple ingredient list and have no butter, oil or flour in them and can be made completely sugar free! I pretty much used my flourless funfetti muffin base but added some extra nut butter to give it more moisture and enhance the gooey centre! These flourless cake batter blondies are also suitable for those following a vegan, gluten free or dairy free lifestyle!
HACK! Protein lover’s out there- Instead of adding protein powder TO the batter, I opted to top them with a basic protein glaze. For those of you who want a glaze but don’t use/have protein powder, this glaze works REALLY well.
Make these healthy flourless cake batter blondies and then book a trip to Australia and have a slice.

Have you ever heard of a ‘slice’ before? IT’S A BLONDIE.
Scone VS Scone. My British/Aussie friends can chime in.
Slice is new knowledge to me! These look all too yummy either way, and love that they can go dense or gooey 🙂
🙂 Thanks Michele! 🙂
Ahh yum! I love these kind of desserts that are perfect for an afternoon snack to brighten your afternoon!
Right? Thanks Hilary!
These look so good and I love the protein glaze!
YAAAAAS. Thanks Heather!
There’s a scone vs. scone debate? Never heard of it, but if I had to chime in I’d say I’m Pro Scone. Preferably chocolate chip scone. Yeah, I’m gonna go with that.
Hahahahaha you’re so awesome. The Aussie ‘scone’ is like…bread like and the American one is totally NOT!
I definitely heard slice before. Not sure if in London or elsewhere or in a total different context. This bugs me now… but anyway, blondies, slices, those look amazing and I wish I had one in front of me right now.
I am definitely a scone snob. Means I only accept British scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I’d eat the other ones too, just don’t call them scones 😛
YES!!! It would have been London I think- They’d call it that there 🙂
IS THIS COINCIDENCE OR DID YOU JUST POST MY FAVORITE RECIPE EVERRRR ON MY BIRTHDAY !?!?! kinda wish someone would make them for me, but OH WELL you did the research so i can manage. pinning now. making now (okay maybe not while at work) buuut you just made my day.
let’s chat soon about sprinkles, california and channing tatum <3333
YESSSSSS! Totally in your honor buddy!
I don’t know what the scone v. scone debate is…but I’ll eat both of whatever they are 🙂 I am team dense/moist/gooey. I don’t like “lighter” desserts like angel food cake. I want something that sticks to my teeth and I feel the cavities coming =P
oooooo I like that texture!
Whatever this is called, it looks really good. I call fried dough like what you put honey and butter on a scone even though it’s not an English scone. Great recipe, Homeslice!
Homeslice. You’re the best.
If I were a food, these would be me right?! Cause I am blond… I am flourless… And I am sweet like cake?!
Oh man, that was a piss-poor correlation. I’m more like the brunt garbage in your trash! LOL!
😀 I’m in Denver airport!!!
I don’t care what you call it, I want a slice of this! Ok, maybe two. With sprinkles. Because sprinkles are for winners.
Right? So manly too! :p
scones are Delicious. Especially with tea.
Mmm yes!
These look delicious! And they seem perfect for holiday parties!
Right? Thanks Dianne!
Funny story, my 3-year-old cousin (at the time) named her big MALE Siberian Husky “Sprinkles”. So it’s totally a guy thing too 😉 LOL! Love these blondies. Seriously they look so moist and delicious! You always have amazing yummies.
LOL!!! That cousin of yours is my new idol!
Looks amazing Arman! I love cake batter and I love every single ingredient you used! They look soooo good!
Thanks so much, Brandi! 🙂
OMG those ingredients! What an amazing recipe 🙂
Thanks so much, Trinity!
