- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla Extract
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews soaked in water for at least 4 hours, drained
- 1/2 cup coconut cream ONLY the solid part of the coconut cream, very important
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries chopped
- 1/4 cup frosting reserved
- high-speed blender
- 13x9" baking pan
- Make the blondies: Preheat oven to 350ยบ F and line a 13x9" pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir to combine well. Press into parchment-lined pan and bake 15 minutes or until top is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make your cream cheese frosting. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until very, very smooth. Scrape into bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Using a spatula or butter knife, spread on top of cooled blondie layer, reserving 1/4 cup frosting, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cranberries.
- Transfer 1/4 cup frosting into small plastic bag and snip off the tip. Drizzle bars with remaining frosting, then cut into triangles.

- Make SURE to use only the solid part of the canned coconut cream or milk. Using liquid coconut milk will result in far too liquid a frosting.
- Make SURE to soak your cashews and use a high-speed blender. Failing to do so will result in a frosting that is not perfectly smooth.
- The frosting will be a bit more yellow than in the photo, due to the maple syrup. You can substitute honey for a lighter frosting.
