Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the blondies.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the blondies into 16 squares. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Almond Butter Blondies with Chocolate Chips!
Tips
- Use room temperature almond butter for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough blondies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra richness, toast your vegan chocolate chips briefly before adding them to the batter.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For a fun variation, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
