1/2 cup palm shortening or coconut oil, OR favorite butter (vegan or otherwise)
2/3 cup coconut palm sugar OR brown sugar
2 teaspoons chia or flax meal gelled w/ 3 tablespoons hot water OR one egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon guar gum or xanthum gum
1/4 teaspoon baking soda leave out if using an egg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2/3 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup tapioca flour or other starch, or cassava flour
1 cup mini marshmallows or a bit more..additional sprinkled on top...they get golden and delicious!
1 cup gluten free graham cracker crumbles optional, may omit
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or more to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease an 8 x 8 pan (or line with parchment).
In the bowl of a mixer, beat the palm shortening (or preferred butter), sugar, egg choice, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
With the mixer still running on medium low speed, sprinkle in the salt, guar gum, baking powder, and baking soda.
Continue with the flours.
Mix in the chocolate chips, graham crackers (if using), and marshmallows.
Spread into the prepared pan to make more or less even. Batter is stiff, go ahead and use your fingers to spread it out evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden throughout. The blondies will still seem gooey in the middle...just let them cool and they will firm up!
Let cool completely to firm up, cut, and store in an airtight container.
