Fudgy Almond Butter Blondies
Description
This recipe relies on drippy natural almond butter made solely from roasted almonds to achieve the proper consistency. Eggs, coconut sugar, and maple syrup provide moisture and sweetness, while melted coconut oil and vanilla enhance flavor and texture. Coconut flour and baking soda contribute structure and leavening. Chocolate chips folded into the batter and sprinkled on top melt during baking to create rich chocolate bursts.
After baking in a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, the blondies are cooled before cutting into 16 squares. The resulting bars have a fudgy, moist bite with contrasting melted chocolate and a hint of sea salt on top to balance sweetness.
For a vegan adaptation, substituting flax eggs for eggs is suggested but untested.
