Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Cinnamon Swirl Mixture
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients precisely to keep the balance perfect; preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon until evenly combined; this creates your cinnamon-spiced base.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry, stirring gently until a smooth, thick batter forms without overmixing to keep it tender.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, combine almond butter, extra cinnamon, and maple syrup until it forms a sticky, spreadable swirl.
- Assemble and Swirl: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, dollop the cinnamon swirl mixture on top, then pour the remaining batter over. Use a knife to create beautiful cinnamon roll swirls by gently swirling the mixture into the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs for that chewy texture.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan to set; then cut into squares and savor their warm, gooey cinnamon goodness.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter consistency.
- Do not overmix to keep the blondies tender instead of tough or dense.
- Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture for the perfect swirl effect.
- Check baking times closely as almond flour bakes quickly; start checking at 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbly pieces and keep bars intact.
