How about a THIRD blondie? I’m totally sure that’s a yes in this book. These matcha blondies look absolutely fantastic, and I can’t believe they’re super healthy!
MUST try matcha!! The answer is ALWAYS yes to another blondie! 😉
Hi Jessica,
Can you substitute the raw cacao butter for more coconut oil or other fat substitute? Would applesauce work?
I haven’t tried replacing the cacao butter here, but I’m sure more coconut oil would work! Applesauce might make the blondies a little gummy or cakey.
Hello Jessica,
Is it possible to substitute the quinoa/sorghum flour for something else? What effects do these ingredients have on the overall product?
The quinoa flour can be replaced with brown rice flour. I definitely wouldn’t recommend using 100% oat flour in this recipe because oat flour can turn things a little gummy and chewy.

Hey!
I can’t eat applesauce ;c what can I use instead?
I haven’t tried subbing the applesauce here so I can’t be sure. I think you can use any other fruit puree like pearsauce, or maybe even pumpkin puree?
Hi, if I want to use regular sugar, what would be the proportions? Thanks !
You can replace the erythritol at a 1:1 ratio, so that would be ¾ cup of sugar 🙂
Another Amazing matcha recipe! Got hooked on your protein bar matcha recipe and now this? What a treat!
