Blondie Snickerdoodle Bars

These Blondie Snickerdoodle Bars are packed with protein and fiber thanks to the addition of white beans but you’d never know it! A cross between coffee cake and blondies, they’re perfect for breakfast, snack time or dessert!

Hi friends!

I’ve got a fun new recipe for you today. These Blondie Snickerdoodle Bars are a request from a follower and they’re definitely a new favorite around here.

Someone asked me for some bars that contained beans as well as the iconic snickerdoodle flavor and although it took a few rounds of testing, I think I nailed them.

First things first, these are not a fudgy blondie. They’re definitely on the cakey side. So you need to go into it with that expectation. They are fluffly and cakey, almost like a coffee cake, but they’ve got a whole can of great northern beans inside!

If you’ve been around for a while, you know I love baking with beans and lentils. If you’re looking for more ideas, check out these recipes:

Ingredients for Snickerdoodle Blondies

The ingredients for these bars are so simple and I bet you have most of them in your pantry right now! You’ll need:

• Great northern beans – They have such a mild flavor and they’re perfect for blending into baked goods
• Sugar – I use white sugar, you could also try brown sugar and I haven’t tried it but you could probably sub maple syrup as well
• Oil – I use avocado oil
• Egg – we’re using a mix of egg and egg yolk
• Vanilla and cinnamon – don’t skimp on these! They’re crucial for flavor
• Flour – I used white whole wheat flour or a gluten-free 1:1 blend
• Baking soda and baking powder

How To Make Blondie Snickerdoodle Bars

To make these bars you’ll need a food processor or a high-powered blender. When you’re ready to bake:

• Combine the beans, sugar, egg and yolk, oil and vanilla and process until smooth.
• Add remaining ingredients and blend until mixed.
• Spoon into a 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake!

Blondie Snickerdoodle Bars FAQs

Can I make these snickerdoodle bars without beans?

I would not recommend this specific recipe without the beans. If you’re looking for a more traditional dessert, try:

• Cinnamon Swirl Snickerdoodle Blondies
• Snickerdoodle Blondies
• White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Blondies

How to store blondie snickerdoodle bars?

These bars are moist and don’t do well in a sealed container. I would store on the counter loosely covered with foil for 2 days or so and then transfer to a container in the fridge.

Can I freeze snickerdoodle blondies?

Yes! Cool completely and then cut and freeze in a ziploc bag. Thaw on the counter when ready to eat.

Can I make gluten-free snickerdoodle bars?

Yes, just use a 1:1 Gluten-free flour blend. My favorite is King Arthur’s measure for measure.

Can I make vegan snickerdoodle bars?

To make this recipe vegan, I would substitute a flax egg. Here’s how to make a flax egg. You might have to experiment and see if you like the results better with one or two flax eggs.
