Almond Flour Blondies

For this recipe, you will need coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, almond flour, cassava flour, baking powder, sea salt, dairy-free chocolate chips, and dairy-free white chocolate chips.

Beat the coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a medium bowl until creamed and smooth.

Next, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.

Pour the chocolate chips into the bowl and fold them into the blondie batter using a spatula. 

Once the chocolate chips are incorporated, pour the batter into a lined and greased 8×8-inch baking pan. Smooth the top of the batter with the spatula. 

Bake the blondies for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for three days. For more extended storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of oil instead of coconut oil? 

Yes, you can substitute coconut oil with other oils and butter, like vegan butter or olive oil.

What can I use instead of brown sugar? 

You can use coconut sugar, granulated sugar, or a sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Keep in mind that substitutions may slightly alter the flavor and texture.

Are there any egg substitutes for this recipe? 

I’ve only tested this recipe with eggs, but you can try using flax egg or a vegan egg replacement. To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water and let it thicken for a few minutes.
