Browning Butter:
Start with Unsalted Butter
Measure out 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter for optimal control over the recipe's saltiness.Use a Light-Colored Pan
Choose a light-colored saucepan so you can easily monitor the color changes in the butter.Melt the Butter
Place the butter in the pan and melt it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.Watch for Foam and Crackling
As the butter melts, it will foam and sizzle. This is the water evaporating from the butter.Look for Golden Specks
After a few minutes, the sizzling will subside, and you’ll notice golden brown specks forming at the bottom of the pan. These are the milk solids browning.Check the Aroma
The butter will release a nutty, caramel-like fragrance—this is a sign it's perfectly browned.Remove from Heat
Quickly remove the pan from the heat to prevent the butter from burning.Cool Slightly
Let the brown butter cool slightly before using it in your recipe.Pin It for Later!

Cinnamon Swirl Almond Flour Blondies
These Cinnamon Swirl Almond Flour Blondies put a healthier spin on the traditional recipe, combining the sweetness of coconut sugar, the nutty goodness of almond flour, and the warm spice of cinnamon. Whether you're searching for a gluten-free dessert or a low-carb sweet treat, this recipe is sure to satisfy your cravings without compromise!
Ingredients:
2 cup almond flour ( toasted, optional)
1/2 cup raw cane sugar (or keto friendly sweetener)
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly (I browned the butter, this is optional)
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Cinnamon Swirl:
3 tbsp coconut sugar (or keto friendly brown sweetener)
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your almond flour out in an even layer. Bake for 8 min until golden, let it cool completely.
Line a 8x8inch baking pan with parchment allowing extra to come up the sides. Make cinnamon swirl, add ingredients to bowl and mix, set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined. Then add baking powder and salt. Mix well.
Stir in almond flour until just combined (try not to over stir)
Pour half the batter into pan, spread in even layer. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar mix evenly across the batter. Next, add the remaining batter on top. Carefully try to spread that out as much as possible, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mix.
Using a butter knife, swirl the sugar into the batter.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. The top will just be starting to turn a very light brown. Allow to cool completely and then dig in!
Store 1-3 Days at room Temperature: Store the blondies in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Keep them in a cool, dry place. Or up to 1 Week in the fridge or up to 3 Months in the freezer
