Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl Mixture
- 2 tablespoons batter reserved from main mixture
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
Instructions
- Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy blondie removal.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until well blended to create an even flavor base.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a thick, sticky batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
- Create the Cinnamon Swirls: Mix a small portion of the batter with extra cinnamon and coconut sugar, then dollop this mixture over the main batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through for that signature cinnamon roll effect.
- Bake and Cool: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is golden and set but still soft. Let the blondies cool completely before slicing to maintain their gooey texture.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale to measure almond flour accurately as density can vary.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon swirling step for classic flavor and marbling.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Keep a close eye on baking time to prevent dryness and preserve moistness.
- Allow blondies to cool fully before cutting to achieve clean slices.
