What are Blondie Bars?

A blondie is a dessert bar also known as a “blonde brownie.” It has the same texture as a regular brownie but is made without cocoa. They are usually flavored with toffee, peanut butter, or chunky candies for added texture. Blondies also resemble cookie bars – but are made with all brown sugar instead of granulated white sugar.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Blondies

1. First, mix all of ingredients in a medium sized bowl – reserve most of chocolate chips for later.
2. Then line 8×8 pan/dish with parchment paper, pour batter into pan and spread out evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top then bake for 23 minutes at 350F.
3. Remove pan from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then remove by lifting the edges of the parchment paper out of the pan. Slice into bars and enjoy!

Extra tips for making Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

• For this recipe I used almond butter – you can also use peanut butter or cashew butter instead.
• This recipe doesn’t have to be gluten free or used with just almond flour – replace the almond flour with regular all-purpose flour or a gluten free flour blend.
• Store these bars in a sealed ziplock bag or container at room temperature or in refrigerator to stay extra fresh and chewy.
