Applebee's Walnut Blondie
A walnut blondie is high in histamine, driven by the walnuts, wheat flour, and molasses.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
A blondie is a sweet baked bar of wheat flour, sugar, eggs, white chunks, and walnuts, finished with molasses.
-
Walnuts — nuts like walnuts are classic histamine liberators, and they are the main reason this dessert lands high.
-
Wheat flour and molasses — the wheat flour runs moderate and the molasses adds another moderate layer, so the base itself is not clean either.
For dessert, a simpler baked item without nuts would sit lower than this blondie.
