• Fiber: The almond flour and almond butter contribute dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes gut health, and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Servings 9 -12

Ingredients

  

• 2 Large Eggs
• ½ cup Almond Butter, I use homemade (runny, unsalted, unsweetened)
• 3 tablespoon Avocado Oil (or Olive Oil)
• 3 tablespoon Unsweetened Almond Milk (or your choice)
• ½ tablespoon Ground Vanilla Bean Powder (or 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract)
• ½ cup Almond Flour (50g)
• ⅓ cup Coconut Sugar (or for keto, use Brown Sweetener)
• ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
• ¼ tablespoon Salt
• ½ cup Mix of Chocolate & Dark Chocolate Chips (Sugar-Free) 

Instructions

 

• Preheat the Oven: 

  Preheat your oven to 160°C fan (320°F) or 180°C (350°F) conventional. Line a 20 cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
• Whisk the Eggs: 

  In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
• Mix Wet Ingredients: 

  Add the almond butter, avocado oil, almond milk, and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
• Combine Dry Ingredients: 

  Gently fold in the almond flour, coconut sugar (or your keto sweetener), baking soda, and salt using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Fold in Chocolate Chips: 

  Add the mix of chocolate and dark chocolate chips to the batter, folding them in evenly.
• Transfer to Baking Pan: 

  Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure it bakes uniformly.
• Bake: 

  Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the centre is slightly under-baked and the edges are slightly crispy. For a gooey texture, bake for about 18-20 minutes.
• Cool: 

  Allow the blondies to cool in the pan at room temperature. This helps them set and makes cutting easier.
• Cut and Serve: 

  Once cooled, cut the blondies into 12 medium squares or 9 large ones, depending on your preference. Enjoy your delicious, healthy treat!
