    • Almond Flour Blondies

    Whats the difference between blondies and brownies?

    Blondies are one of the easiet baking recipes to make and are dense, rich and fudgy. They are basically a vanilla version of a brownie but with more of a caramel flavor which comes from the brown erythritol that is used in this recipe. These almond flour blondies are also gluten free.

    Ingredients use for the almond flour blondies

    Made with almond flour to keep the carbs to a minimum while still maintaining that fudgy blondie that we all love.

    • Almond Flour: ground blanched almonds were used for this recipe which gives it a slightly nutty flavour plus it's low carb and gluten free.
    • Brown Sugar Swerve: we use swerve brown sugar to give these blondies a rich caramelized flavor.
    • Butter: creamed with the brown sugar swerve giving this low carb blondie a rich buttery flavor. We used salted butter so we don't have to add any additional salt.
    • Low Carb Chocolate Chips: adding sugar-free chocolate chips makes these almond flour blondies over-the-top delicies. I used Coco Polo baking tabs.
    • Eggs
    • Baking Powder
    • Vanilla Extract

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Steps by step instructions

    How to make the almond flour blondies?

    STEP 1: First preheat the oven to 350°F.

    In a mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (except the chocolate) and set aside.

    STEP 2: In another bowl cream together the softened butter with the keto brown sugar erythritol, you can use a rubber spatula or whisk for this.

    STEP 3: Now add the eggs and dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until combined. Mix for at least one minute.

    • STEP 4: Now stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

    STEP 5: Once the chocolate chips are mixed through transfer the batter to a well-greased or parchment-lined 8" x 8" baking pan. Spread it out evenly in the pan.

    STEP 6: Bake at 350°F for 18 - 20 minutes. Check it at 18 minutes, if the center appears underbaked allow it to bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing it from the pan otherwise, it may fall apart. Cut into squares and enjoy!

    Recipe tips

    Top Tip: if not using parchment paper, generously grease the baking pan with butter or coconut oil.

    Cooling: let the almond flour blondies cool completely, they will likely fall apart if removed while they are still warm.

    • Serving: serve these low carb blondies with your favourite warm beverage and enjoy.
    • Storage: store the squares in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

    Recipe variations

    These almond flour gluten free blondies can be made in a variety of ways, here are just a few that I have tried.

    • Nutty - replace the chocolate chips with walnuts for a nuttier low carb blondie.
    • Peanut Butter - for a peanut butter low carb blondie add a ¼ cup of smooth natural peanut butter to the batter. Can also use almond butter.
    • Coconut - for a toasted coconut low carb blondie sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut on top before placing it in the oven.
    • Vegan - to make these diary free vegan blondies, swap the butter with vegan butter, and instead of eggs use 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon Ground Flax mixed together with 3 tablespoon water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken).

    Frequently asked questions

    Why did my blondies come out cakey?

    Blondies may come out cakey when the batter is not mixed long enough or they may have been overbaked.

    Are blondies meant to be gooey in the middle?

    This is a personal preference as some people would rather have a more cakey texture. If you prefer extra gooey you may want to add an extra egg yolk to the batter.

    Are these almond flour blondies safe for someone with diabetes?

    This recipe uses low-carb ingredients like almond flour, erythritol, and low-carb chocolate chips and may be safe for someone with diabetes. Different foods affect everyone differently and I would suggest monitoring your blood sugars when trying new recipes to see how they may affect you personally.

    Are these almond flour keto blondies?

    These low-carb almond flour blondies would be considered keto-friendly and may fit into your daily macros as they are only 1g net carbs per square.
