Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 ripe pear, diced
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the diced ripe pear. Make sure the pear is evenly coated with the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 bite-sized pieces. Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Pear Blondie Bites!
Tips
- Choose a ripe, soft pear for maximum natural sweetness and moisture
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and texture
- Don't overmix the batter – this can make your blondies tough instead of tender
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and perfect cutting
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat edges
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness
- For extra indulgence, slightly warm the blondie bites before serving and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream
