Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. This will help prevent the blondies from sticking to the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix these ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps of brown sugar remaining.
- Next, add 1 cup of rolled oats to the mixture. Stir well to ensure that the oats are evenly distributed throughout the almond butter mixture.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Then, add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined. The baking soda will help the blondies rise slightly while baking.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter. You can use semi-sweet, dark, or even dairy-free chocolate chips based on your preference.
- Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly in the pan, smoothing the top as needed.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the blondies into 12 equal squares. Serve them as a delicious snack or dessert, and enjoy!
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your almond butter is at room temperature before mixing. This will make it easier to blend with the sugars and syrup.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to denser blondies.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your blondies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate chips to suit your taste!
- Check for Doneness: Since ovens can vary, start checking your blondies a few minutes before the 25-minute mark. They should be lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow the blondies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. This helps them set and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
