Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1½ cups gluten-free oat flour (see note)
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3 flax eggs or eggs
- 3 Tbsp. grass-fed butter or coconut oil (see note)
- 3/4 cup almond milk or non-dairy milk of choice
Filling
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or grass-fed butter
Glaze
- 1/3 cup coconut butter melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or sticky sweetener of choice
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 2-quart baking dish with parchment paper.
-
In a saucepan over low heat, combine milk and butter, stirring until butter is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, stir together oat flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk eggs.
-
Add small amounts of milk-butter mixture into the eggs, whisking very slowly. Continue until well-combined.
-
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
-
In another bowl, mix together filling ingredients until well-combined.
-
Using a spatula or spoon, spread half the blondie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing down to make an even layer. Spoon cinnamon filling over blondie batter. Spread remaining blondie batter on top.
-
Lightly brush with more melted butter (optional).
-
Bake 22-26 minutes, or until edges begin to crisp. Remove from oven and let cool.
-
While baking, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth. Once blondies are cooled, drizzle glaze over top. Slice into squares and serve.
Recipe Notes
- For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil
- To make vegan, replace grass-fed butter with coconut oil and replace egg with flax eggs or egg replacement.
- You can substitute oat flour with whole-wheat flour. Note: the recipe will no longer be gluten-free.
- Replace oat flour and almond flour with your favorite all-in-one gluten-free baking flour.
- For more crunch and nutty flavor, add ½-cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.
