These Cranberry Chocolate Chip Blondies are easy to make, festive, and super yummy! This version is totally gluten free as well!
Helllloooo Fall!!! I love Fall, it’s one of my favorite seasons. However since moving to Florida it’s been really hard to get in the Fall mood. It’s still like 90 degrees everyday, which I love. But yes I do still miss the cool crisp days of Autumn in Minnesota, where the leaves are starting to turn a magenta color, and it immediately puts me in the mood to bake something with Cranberries or Pumpkin.
Well for some reason my internal seasonal clock still has the need to bake every Fall recipe I can think of even though it’s like 90 degrees outside. It’s weird, I know. It’s funny because even when I’m shopping in the stores, I see all of this cool Fall stuff for the home to purchase.
Anything from Pumpkin scented candles, to fake Fall leaves. But to me it just seems odd to purchase such things in Florida when it’s hot and everything is still green and lush. Well I guess living here is saving me $$ on buying impulse items like that! 🙂
Ok so lets get back to these Cranberry Chocolate Chip Blondies! Yummmmm!
Here’s what I love about these:
-This is a super easy dessert to bake.
- These bars have the sweet taste of Fall mixed with Cranberries and Chocolaty goodness.
- They are 100% Gluten Free! Yay – my stomach thanks me!
- You can’t even tell they are Gluten Free. I made these for some friends and they totally chowed down on a big plate of these. When I told them they were Gluten Free, they just said Wow, Amazing!
- They are kid friendly. Yep – just ask my 12 year old son who just ate 3 of these in one sitting!
