Dark Chocolate Almond Blondies

Decadent, dark, and delicious – all of these adjectives perfectly describe these dark chocolate almond blondies.

If you thought your days of blondies were done, surprise! We’ve got a 100% paleo recipe for you that will satisfy your craving for this dessert.

And you already know, with the combination of almond butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and dark chocolate, it’s going to be insanely good.

Like I think my mouth just watered typing that out.

Want to take this recipe up another notch? Make your own almond butter! It’s way cheaper – and as long as you have a high-quality food processor, blender, or Vitamix, you should be golden.

Here’s how this is going to work. First off – don’t forget to preheat your oven. Do this first so you’re not stuck waiting around for it to preheat. I’ve only made that mistake at least 219238423987 times. 😉

Next, you’ll take all your “wet” ingredients (+ coconut sugar) and mix them well in a bowl.

In a different bowl, gently mix all your “dry” ingredients. Then carefully pour this mixture back into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix well to incorporate.

Spray a baking dish with your favorite non-stick spray. Trader Joe’s has an amazing coconut oil spray. I also like the avocado oil spray from Chosen Foods brand.

Put in the oven. Bake until you can insert a toothpick into the middle of the blondies and it comes out clean.

There you have it.

Bookmark this one, crew. You’ll want to make it again and again.
