Get ready to make room for this sweet & simple bake.
These delicious blondies from @mikethurston are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet-tooth cravings without undoing your training progress. They’re made with a handful of incredible ingredients and sweetened with agave syrup, which has a lower glycemic index than sugar and won’t spike blood sugar levels as much. Ideal if you’re trying to cut out those sugar crashes after snacks and desserts.
If you’re not usually a baker, don’t be put off — this minimum-fuss recipe takes a matter of minutes to prepare. It’s basically as easy as putting everything in a blender and switching it on. Yep, really.
Plus, when the result is a batch of blondies that are as irresistibly gooey and moreish as this, it’s so worth it.
