Gluten Free Vegan Carrot Cake Blondies {Paleo}

Something inside my brain tells me that it is so wrong for my brown-haired self to be eating a blondie.

But then my teeth sink into the spicy-sweet chewy-denseness, and end in a crunchy, toasty pecan and it just feels. SO. RIGHT.

I can straight up tell you that the gluten free carrot cake loving person that I know you are is going to fall head over taste buds for these addicting little blondies and they’re super-secret ability to go into stealth veggie mode and hide the fact that there are CARROTS and AVOCADO up inside o’ them.

I know. I KNOW. I am obsessed with avocados in baked goods. Avocados have appear in healthy chocolate chip cookies, gluten free brownies and mint paleo gluten free chocolate cake. But, I mean, desserts with green-good-for-you food that nourishes your heart AND fills up your tummy at the SAME TIME?

I’m a fan.

Plusplusplus, they have a few superyum ingredients from Better Body Foods. We’re talking my current gluten free flour obsession, coconut flour, along with a good dose of coconut sugar for that coconuty-caramel sweetness that rocks my taste buds from here to somewhere way too far away to even imagine, and their coconut oil. Which has juuuuust the right amount of coconut taste without overpowering the carroty-ness.

Because carrot cake. Obvi it needs to have SOME sort of carrot taste.

Now, potentially awkward moment about to happen here: Yes, I am super aware that we just had that carrot cake vegan cheesecake not even two weeks ago, and now I am encouraging you to do some sort of carrot cake happy dance with me AGAIN. But, guys, it is Easter time. We food blogging humans just LIVE for the holidays. On the opposite note: our husbands? I am pretty sure they live for the holidays to END.

There were MANY gluten free carrot cake creations in the FFF kitchen in the past while, and I think the hubs is kinda OVER bunny food. Also, some of aforementioned creations will not all make it inside your desserts-with-veggies munching mouths. Just like those paleo lemon bars, sometime things fail. Like. A lot.

I don’t want to talk about it.

But I do want to talk about all things blondies. More specifically let’s take one of those fun quizzes to identify your blondie personality instead! You know those ones that you can spend wasting countless hours on Facebook taking? Not that I know anything about that. A friend of a friend of mine does them.

Question 1:  You saunter into a party and you realize you’re the only one thought it was a frozen-themed costume party. Do you:

1. And devour 6 paleo brownies to make yourself feel better.
2. Stay and rock your Olaf, because you are YOU and that means you be confident. Uh huuuuh.

Question 2:  How do you take your coffee?

1. Dark and Handsome (ie: black)
2. There may be coffee hiding in my almond milk and stevia. Somewhere. Maybe

That’s it! Your blondie personality results are in:
You’re a dense and chewy gluten free carrot cake blondie! Everyone thinks you’re totally sweet, but you’ve got an underlying SPICY personality. Ooooo.

So it may not have been the most scientifical (real word?) of tests. Whatever.

Science or not, these blondies with their perfect combination of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, crispy pecans and creamy avocado with just a swirl of smooth, rich coconut oil?

They’re going to make you do another round of that carrots-in-your-cake happy dance.
