AWESOME recipe! My husband is allergic to gluten and I'm vegan so this worked out well for both of us. My friends and family who don't have special dietary needs also loved the flavor, not to mention the nutrition! My Dad left me an extensive voicemail message about how delicious and moist they were. The first time, I made them as directed. The second time, I subbed agave nectar for sugar, creamy peanut butter for crunchy, and cocoa powder for flour (to make brownies instead of blondies), and doubled the baking powder (which helped them rise more). Definitely a keeper. Will make again and again.
