Almond Butter Blondies

As usual, I'm waiting until the last minute.. I need a quick dessert recipe for the Fathers Day lunch I'm hosting, and I want minimal ingredients. Off to Pinterst I go... I found a peanut butter brownie recipe that I thought I could modify and make work. This modified recipe is going to be a new favorite!!! We are a peanut free family, so I subbed almond butter, but any nut or seed butter will work.

This recipe is also dairy and soy free. You could sub the whole wheat flour for a gluten free flour as well.

Ingredients

1/3 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup raw almond butter 

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut sugar

4 eggs

1/2 cup almond flour or almond meal

1/2 cup white whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

1 cup enjoy life chocolate chips

1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all liquid ingredients together in a bowl, except the melted coconut oil. 

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.

Then add in the melted coconut oil, stirring until mixed.

Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour batter into a brownie pan.*

Bake for 30-40 minutes until toothpick in center comes out clean. 

 

*I used a greased 9x11 brownie pan, but a square 9 inch pan will work, too.
