Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional

  • 1¼ cup chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 18"x13" sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of blondies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy almond butter, avocado oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Form Batter: Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a thick, uniform batter.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly.
  6. Spread Batter in Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly to ensure consistent baking.
  7. First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  8. Add Topping Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top evenly to create a visually appealing topping.
  9. Second Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until blondies are set and golden on the edges.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use an 18"x13" sheet pan for even cooking. Adjust baking time if using a different size.
  • Sprinkling extra chocolate chips halfway through baking prevents them from sinking and creates an attractive chocolate topping.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Blondies freeze well for up to 3 months. Wrap individually or store in a freezer-safe container.
  • To serve after freezing, thaw and warm in the oven for a few minutes. Top with chocolate frosting for a decadent sheet pan cake treat.
