Almond Flour Blondies! Chewy, gooey, and filled with delicious morsels of chocolate, white chocolate, and pecans!
If you had to choose between blondies or brownies which side would you be on?
I have to say that I’m usually a chocolate loving girl – but I’d take one of these blondies over a brownie any day! Thy are chewy, decadent and rich.
This is my Mom’s blond brownie recipe and it was the very first thing I learned to bake. To this day I still make them and people go crazy for them! Nobody will guess these are gluten-free.
I converted my Mom’s recipe to be gluten-free with fantastic results.
I use almond flour in these bars, and they taste just as delicious as the ones I made growing up.
These blonde brownies are chewy, gooey, and filled with delicious morsels of chocolate, white chocolate, and pecans.
You can also make these with any gluten-free all-purpose flour you like with great results. It is a really forgiving and easy recipe.
Feel free to switch up the mix-ins to whatever you like. Walnuts, dark or milk chocolate chips would all be delicious.
Almond flour makes baked goods so delicious, and these are no exception. These blonde brownies are one of my go-to dessert recipes!

I made these for 1 of my guests. I’m not gluten free & I still loved these & so did all the other guests. I used white chocolate chips & butterscotch chips. I’m going to make them again with chocolate chips. Thanks!!!
We’re so pleased to hear the recipe was such a hit! Thank you for sharing your positive baking experience with us, Valerie!
Just made them. It’s been a looong 15 minutes waiting for them to cool down. They are dreamy. Thank you for the recipe!
Aww, thank you for sharing your positive experience with the blondie recipe, Monica! We’re so pleased to hear you loved it!
So delicious I am so happy to find this recipe. 1 of my sons is type 1 diabetic and he loves this recipe. Actually both of them love it
I have been making these for years. By far a family favourite – not a GF household but every other blondie recipe I try doesn’t come close. I always use coconut oil for the flavour. Just the best!
Thank you for such kind feedback, Shel! We’re so glad the recipe has been such a hit with your household!
Would it be helpful and okay to add some baking powder ? Would that help give the dough a bit of a lift ?
Anna Belle
Hi Anna Belle, the recipe calls for 1 tsp of baking powder. We would recommend sticking to this measurement for best results. Thank you for your question!
Im so excited about making this recipe my son was diagnosed type 1 diabetic and I used the slpenda brown sugar. They smell amazing. Thanks for the recipe
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe, Sandy! Thanks for sharing with us!
Could I add some gluten free oats?
Hi Robin, we haven’t tried this recipe with gluten free oats. That may cause your batter to need a little more liquid to balance the dry ingredients, but it is worth a try. If you decide to test it out, we’d love to hear how it goes!
Just Wow!! Ooey gooey and a total hit! Used butterscotch instead of white chips. Honestly, adding a little coconut shred would have made this similar to a magic cookie bar without the sweetened condensed milk. Will definitely be repeating this one!
Absolutely delicious! I did reduce the sugar a bit though. I always do. Still delish!
Can I use King Arthur Baking Sugar Alternative, instead of both sugars?
I’ve made this recipe a few times now and my husband loves them!
Do you have the metric conversions for this recipe? I see them on some of your other recipes, but not this one, and I prefer baking by weight for both simplicity and consistency/repeatability. Thanks for such fabulous recipes!
Hi Amber, thank you for your feedback! We’re working to update older recipes with newer features, like metric conversions, so that they match newer recipes and offer both types of measurements. We’re so glad they are such a hit with your family!
Are these grain free?
Yes these are grain-free!
These are delicious, but a bit sweet for us. We left out the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and they were still plenty sweet. Great recipe!
I found this recipe many years ago and it is a family favorite! When my adult child comes home for a visit, she always requests these. I have even served them to my younger kids as a breakfast treat (high protein). So yummy.
This is so sweet! Glad to hear they’re a family favorite. Thanks for the comment 🙂
I found this recipe several years ago when I found out I had celiac. My sister-in-law will request these whenever I offer to bring something to a family gathering. They are well enjoyed but everyone! Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad honored they’re a favorite at your family gatherings! Thanks for the comment 🙂
I love this recipe. It is so easy and delicious. My boyfriend frequently asks me to make these blondies. I eat gluten free (celiac disease) and my boyfriend can eat gluten. He loves these blondies.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
