These Gluten-Free Almond Flour Blondies will have you forgetting that it is Monday and bring you back to dreaming about the weekend.  My kids ate these up like it was their job and I felt good about it since I swapped out a few unhealthy ingredients that are usually found in this type recipe. Now, I LOVE Blondies!  They are one of my favorite desserts and I am super picky about how they taste since they have to be super soft and moist and have the right combination of cakey goodness and buttery texture to chocolate chips.  I believe this recipe fits those requirements to a T.

These were so thick, cakey but also nice and buttery with the perfect ratio of mini chocolate chips.  Such a delicious treat for those of us that do not eat desserts often.  These also make a nice alternative to chocolate chip cookies and I bet would be even better with a little vanilla ice cream on top!

Here are all of my secrets on how I made these a little better for you so you can enjoy them even more!

Ingredients I swapped out?  

Standard recipe contains: White flour. 

My swap:  Almond flour or gluten free all purpose flour can be used as well.

Standard recipe contains:  Whole lot of real butter. 

My swap:  Half vegan butter plus half melted coconut oil plus some all natural peanut butter

Standard recipe contains: Brown and white sugar.

 My swap:  Half coconut sugar plus half organic brown sugar

I also used dairy-free mini chocolate chips instead of regular mini chocolate chips. 

Win!  Win!!

Yum!

 I hope you enjoy these as much as my family and I did!  Happy baking!
