Strawberry Blondies (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

If you are looking for a sweet treat that supports your health goals, these strawberry blondies are a perfect fit. They are nutrient-dense, easy to make, and designed to support gut health. This recipe works well for those with leaky gut, Candida overgrowth, or SIBO. It also aligns with The Myers Way® and supports those on the Autoimmune Spectrum.

These gluten-free blondies feature a functional twist. They include Strawberries & Cream Paleo Protein in both the batter and glaze. This adds a boost of protein and nourishment while keeping the recipe clean and simple. You get a soft, chewy texture with a naturally sweet strawberry flavor.

Gluten Free Blondies

Traditional blondies rely on wheat flour and refined sugar. This version uses nutrient-dense, AIP-friendly ingredients that support digestion and overall wellness.

Cassava flour serves as the base. It is grain-free and easy to digest. It provides a soft texture without gluten.

Tigernut flour adds natural sweetness and fiber. It supports gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria.

Coconut oil provides healthy fats that help support energy and satiety.

Freeze-dried strawberries deliver antioxidants and natural flavor without added sugar. They also contain vitamin C, which supports immune health.

Together, these ingredients create gluten-free blondies that taste indulgent while supporting your body.

Tigernut Butter Benefits

Tigernut butter is a standout ingredient in this recipe. Despite the name, tigernuts are not nuts. They are small root vegetables. This makes them ideal if you are following The Myers Way® or the AIP diet to manage food sensitivities.

Tigernut butter is rich in prebiotic fiber. This helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria and supports digestion. It also contains resistant starch, which may help balance blood sugar levels.

In addition, tigernut butter provides a creamy texture and natural sweetness. It replaces traditional nut butters while remaining compliant with The Myers Way®.

Adding Strawberries and Cream Protein Powder

This recipe features Strawberries & Cream Paleo Protein for both flavor and function. 

This strawberry-and-cream protein powder is made from grass-fed, hydrolyzed beef collagen. It is designed for easy absorption and supports healthy skin, joints, and gut lining. Each scoop provides 21 grams of protein. It is free from gluten, dairy, soy, and legumes. This makes it ideal if you have food sensitivities or are on the autoimmune spectrum.

In this recipe, the protein powder is blended into the batter and the glaze. It enhances the strawberry flavor while increasing the protein content. This helps stabilize blood sugar and keeps you satisfied longer.
