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!
