Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup gluten-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the gluten-free chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent sticking, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the blondies turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares for serving.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted but not hot before mixing to avoid cooking the batter prematurely.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips if you want to keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
