Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and erythritol. Mix thoroughly until the sweetener is well incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure the eggs are fully integrated into the peanut butter mixture.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, stirring until evenly distributed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a consistent batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper overhang, lift the blondies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Use Natural Peanut Butter: Choose a smooth, no-added-sugar peanut butter for the best texture and flavor.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and peanut butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine ingredients to keep the blondies tender and light.
- Check for Doneness: The edges should be golden, and a toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the blondies cool completely to set properly and achieve the perfect texture.
- Storage Hack: For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
- Optional Enhancements: Consider adding sugar-free chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
