Paleo Lemon Poppy Seed Blondies
Description
This Paleo Lemon Poppy Seed Blondies recipe starts with a smooth blend of tahini and pure maple syrup, creating a creamy, nutty base that carries the flavor throughout. Eggs and lemon zest introduce moisture, structure, and brightness, while almond flour provides the gluten-free foundation. Poppy seeds disperse subtle crunch and visual appeal. Optional sliced almonds sprinkled on top introduce an extra layer of texture and nutty flavor.
They are baked in an 8-inch square pan until the edges turn golden brown and the center feels slightly firm when touched, then left warm in the oven to finish gently. This approach ensures moistness while achieving a tender bite. The result is a dense yet slightly springy blondie with lemony brightness and delicate nutty undertones.
Allowing the blondies to cool before slicing helps hold their shape while serving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 egg
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 2 cups almond flour Super Fine
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
- ¼ cup almonds optional, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8” x 8” baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the tahini and pure maple syrup until very well-combined and creamy. Whisk in the eggs and lemon zest and beat until well-incorporated. Add the almond flour, poppy seeds and sea salt and mix well until combined. Pour the blondie batter into the baking dish and smooth into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the sides are golden-brown and the blondies feel slightly firm when poked. I bake mine for 25 minutes then turn off the oven and leave the blondies in the warm oven for 10 minutes longer.
- Allow blondies to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
