What You Need to Make Flour Blondies
This healthy Flourless Blondie recipe is packed with good-for-you ingredients. As a health and nutrition professional, I firmly believe you can still enjoy sweet treats that will better your health, not hurt it. This recipe is a prime example!
Nut Butter
You can use your favorite nut butter in this recipe. Although not paleo-approved, you can use peanut butter if you’d like! Other options include almond butter, sunflower butter or cashew butter. Always look for nut butter that does not contain any added sugars or oils.
Maple Syrup
Maple syrup serves as a great alternative to refined and processed cane sugar. You want to opt for a raw, unrefined maple syrup. This rich syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you don’t have maple syrup on hand, you can substitute honey.
Flaxseed
This recipe calls for a flaxseed egg, which makes it completely vegan. Mix 1 tbs ground flaxseed with 3 tbs water. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Preferably, use organic, raw flaxseed to reap all the benefits of this nutrient-dense seed.
Baking Powder
It’s simple: baking powder is required for the perfect blondie texture. You don’t want to skip out on this small, but essential ingredient.
Chocolate Chips
What is a blondie without chocolate chips? I prefer dark chocolate chips by Camino Amigos as they’re free of soy, dairy, and other additives. However, you can use your favorite chocolate chips!
