Vegan Caramel Pecan Blondies

In a large bowl, mix together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp of water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to create a “flax egg”. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a small baking dish (mine was 5x3) with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper. Set the baking dish aside while you finish making the batter. In the same bowl as your flax egg, add in the butter, sugar (you can use 1/4 cup for a less gooey texture), and vanilla and whisk until light and fluffy - about 1 minute using an electric mixer. Incorporate the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Press the batter into your prepared baking dish. To finish it off, top the batter with the caramel pieces and pecan pieces. Bake the blondies for about 25 minutes. It will seem a little underdone but it’s just the gooey caramels. Wait about 5 minutes before digging in!
