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!

Super delicious! However, I had to double the cook time to almost an hour until the center was firm; I used coconut oil instead of butter so that definitely increased the gooey consistency. Much easier to slice into bars after refrigerating overnight.
Looks great! Could you provide tips/steps to the coconut oil replacement? I had trouble creaming it with the sugar and incorporating the other ingredients.
Delicious! I had some cinnamon to mine.
Oh my word! Delicious! My husband loved them too! Can’t believe they are gluten and dairy free!!! Thank you!!
These were delicious. I’m just now experimenting with gluten free desserts and this one is a keeper.
The center of blondies were a little gooey so next time I will cook a few minutes longer.
Easy and delicious!
