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!

These were SO wet at 20 minutes and still quite wet at 25!…I probably cooked another 8 minutes and they were golden but middle was still pretty wet. I pulled them out, hope they set.
(As others mentioned, quite sweet…that was the batter, will see how flavor is cooked)
Hi Rose Marie, sorry these didn’t turn out as expected! These will continue to set as they cool, so hopefully they turned out for you! Keep baking them until the top is golden, edges are slightly pulling, but the center is a bit soft. You can bake at 325°F for longer if you’re still having trouble with the middle setting!
I love these blondies, and my extended family does too! I’m wondering how they hold up if you bake them in advance and freeze them. Or, how many days in advance you can bake and store them before serving. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
Hi Karyn, so glad your family loves these! Yes, they can be frozen in advance, or baked and stored at room temperature for a few days. But we think fresh is always best with these!
