Why You Will Love These Gluten Free Almond Flour Blondies:

• They are so delicious! I am a sucker for almond flour–although it can be hard to work with in baked goods. After many attempts, this gluten free blondie recipe has become a fan favorite for our gluten free friends and family as well as those who can have gluten. Win! Just because you have food allergies or intolerances, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on delicious food.
• Only 10 minutes to prep. Not a whole lot to do when making these blondies. Since the butter is melted, you don’t need an electric hand mixer to make these. Stir some melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla, then add the dry ingredients and then fold in the white chocolate chips. Bake and you are all set!
• So easy to vary the recipe. While we prefer our blondies with white chocolate chips, the variation options are pretty amazing. You can toss in some chopped pecans, regular chocolate chips, sprinkles, dried cranberries, a touch of lemon zest–you see where I am going?!

What Are Blondies?

Blondies are sort of like brownies without the chocolate. I consider them a cross between a sugar cookie and a chocolate-less brownie if that makes any sense at all. If done right, they have that gooey goodness of a brownie but they taste much more like a buttery cookie. And then if you add any sort of chocolate chips, they resemble even more of a cookie bar.

There are several little things that can have an impact on how blondies turn out texture-wise and I most certainly learned that the hard way. Let’s just say this recipe was tested soooooo many times. So. Many. Times.

Recipe Ingredients:

• almond flour: I used a finely ground almond flour like this one from Bob’s Red Mill. I always found almond flour to be not fine enough for baking but a lot of manufacturers are making them much finer these days and it is much improved. You want almond flour and not almond meal in this recipe for best results.
• butter: unsalted, melted and then slightly cooled. You can use salted, but you will want to lessen the amount of salt used later in the recipe by half.
• eggs: large eggs
• sugar: a combination of brown sugar and white sugar. The brown sugar gives the nice chew and a bold layer of flavor. We prefer light brown sugar in these gluten free blondies.
• vanilla: the vanilla is one of the stars of blondies in general. If you can get your hands on a high quality vanilla extract over imitation vanilla, all the better!
• baking powder: make sure it’s fresh. These almond flour blondies will rise while baking and then settle a bit after cooling. Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the most success.
• salt: we use sea salt, table salt will still work in these gluten free blondies

How to make these Gluten Free Blondies:

• Combine the melted butter, eggs, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined. (steps 1 and 2)
• In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder and sea salt. Whisk to fully combine. (steps 3 and 4)

• Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix to fully incorporate. No need to over mix here, just get them combined. (steps 5 and 6)
• Fold in the white chocolate chips or your favorite add ins. White chocolate is pretty darn sweet, you don’t have to use the full amount if you don’t like your blondies too sweet. You can add some nuts or something else to balance it out. (steps 7 and 8)

• Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment, make sure to grease the pan well, especially the sides. No one wants their blondies stuck to the pan! (step 9)
• Pour the blondie batter into the pan and spread evenly. No need to save any white chocolate chips to sprinkle on top as they essentially get hidden once you bake these. (steps 10 and 11)
• Bake 22-25 minutes until set and top is a light golden brown. The day I made these to shoot process shots, I over baked by a couple minutes because TODDLERS. I didn’t have the time or resources that day to do it all over again. So just note this one was a slight brown as compared to usual. I will say I did not hate the extra slight crispiness one bit! (step 12)
• Allow pan to cool on a wire rack before slicing. You can top with some flaky sea salt before serving if desired. These are also great with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Variations:

• Try them with half milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chipe and half white chocolate chips. Zebra blondies!
• Toss in some dried cranberries for a white chocolate cranberry flavor.
• Use butterscotch chips instead of the white chocolate.
• Add a hint of almond extract (1/2 tsp) dark chocolate chips and some coconut for an almond joy variety
• Try adding some cinnamon (about 1-2 tsp) for a white chocolate churro blondie
• Chopped pecans anyone? These would be great with some nuts tossed in as well!
• Make a maple walnut blondie by adding chopped toasted walnuts and a touch of maple extract.
