Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time.

Seasoned Rice Mix - Ready to Cook

Make your own mixes and keep them in baggies ready to cook. This is a little healthier than store-bought flavoured rice packets. All you have to do is add a bit of butter. Use veggie powder and a dairy-free butter or olive oil to veganize this recipe.

Ingredients
For the Rice Mix
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

  • 2 tablespoons dehydrated vegetables
To Cook
  • 1 tablespoon butter (vegan if desired)
