What You’ll Need:
Almond Butter: Use natural almond butter made with just roasted almonds for the best texture. Avoid peanut butter, as it can make the blondies too dry.
Eggs: You’ll need 2 eggs to help bind the blondies.
Natural Sweeteners: A combination of pure maple syrup and coconut sugar adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
Butter or Coconut Oil: Just a small amount adds moisture and richness.
Almond Flour: A little almond flour gives these blondies a tender texture. You can swap it for 1 tablespoon of coconut flour if needed.
Baking Staples: Don’t forget cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract for flavor and lift!
Chocolate Chips: Any dairy-free or dark chocolate chips will work beautifully.
Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for the ultimate sweet and salty combo!
How to Make Them Vegan or Dairy-Free:
Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free chocolate chips like Enjoy Life.
Vegan: While I haven’t tested it, flax eggs (2 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 5 tablespoons water) should work as an egg substitute.
These one-bowl almond butter blondies come together in just 30 minutes for an easy, delicious, and naturally sweetened treat!
