These Velvet Almond Butter Blondies are a delightful twist on the classic blondie, infused with the rich, nutty flavor of almond butter. The texture is wonderfully soft and chewy, making each bite a luscious experience.
What sets these blondies apart is the combination of almond butter and brown sugar, which creates a beautiful caramel-like sweetness. Topped with a sprinkle of sea salt, they strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory, making them irresistible to all dessert lovers.
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and brown sugar until smooth and well mixed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tip: For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend.
For best results, allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This helps them set and achieve that perfect chewy texture.
If you’re looking to add a twist, consider folding in chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter before baking. These blondies can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage.
