Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter and 1/2 cup of maple syrup. Use a spatula or whisk to mix until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.
- Add 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are fully combined with the wet ingredients, forming a thick batter.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom. Smooth the top to ensure even baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the dish and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- After the blondies have cooled, cut them into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chunk Almond Butter Blondies!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use high-quality almond butter and dark chocolate chunks. Look for almond butter with minimal ingredients—just almonds and maybe a pinch of salt.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to denser blondies.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your blondies a couple of minutes before the 20-minute mark. They should be lightly golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes cutting easier.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just thaw before enjoying!
