Description

These Almond Flour Blondies are a delicious gluten-free twist on classic blondies, made with finely ground almond flour for a moist and tender texture. They are sweetened with your choice of granulated sweetener and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, offering a rich, buttery flavor perfect for dessert or a snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ cups finely ground almond flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar*
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips**

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy removal of blondies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt, stirring to blend the dry components thoroughly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer in a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and well combined. Scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are mixed evenly.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract on medium speed until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
  5. Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on medium-high speed until a smooth dough forms without lumps.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Spread Batter and Bake: Evenly spread the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake on the center oven rack for 16-22 minutes. For chewy blondies, bake 16-19 minutes; for firmer bars that hold together well, bake 18-22 minutes. Reduce baking time slightly if using sugar-free sweeteners to prevent over-browning.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 12 bars and serving. This cooling step helps them firm up for cleaner cuts.

Notes

  • Use any granulated sweetener you prefer: brown sugar for classic flavor, or sugar-free options like allulose, coconut sugar, maple sugar, or monk fruit sweetener.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with sugar-free or dark chocolate chips to suit dietary needs.
  • Baking time varies depending on sweetener type and desired texture, so monitor closely towards the end of baking.
  • For best results, ensure almond flour is finely ground for smooth batter consistency.
