These chocolate chip gluten-free blondies are made in one bowl, no mixer required, and are incredibly soft, and chewy with a gooey center. This is a paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free recipe that can be easily made vegan. Whether you call these gluten-free blondies or chocolate chip cookie bars, this is a recipe that you definitely don’t want to miss!
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 35 mins
Total: 40 mins
Ingredients:
WET INGREDIENTS:
- ¾ cup unsalted, runny, natural almond butter
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup (dairy-free) butter or melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 1-1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients until everything is well combined.
- Stir in the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer to an 8- (thicker) or 9-inch (thinner) square baking pan lined with parchment paper (they will stick without it) and top with additional chocolate chips if desired. Either pan works–just depends on your preference.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes for an 8-inch pan and about 25-30 for a 9-inch. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick should come out clean. If you like gooey centers, bake for less time!
- Let cool completely before slicing. If they haven’t cooled, slicing will get messy!
NOTES:
- These blondies will keep for 3-5 days. They do best when stored in a container with a lid ajar. They can get mushy if the lid is sealed but will dry out if left open.
- You can sub the almond butter for another nut butter like sunflower or cashew butter. Just make sure it is nice and runny.
- The light brown sugar can be subbed for coconut sugar, but it will change the color of the blondies slightly.
