Paleo Maple Pecan Blondies
Soft, chewy, golden blondies made with maple syrup, almond flour, and pecans. Naturally sweetened, vegan, and paleo-friendly—with zero baking guilt.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pecans plus extra for topping
- ¼ cup almond butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (because raw batter is good, but warm blondies are better).
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment—unless you enjoy chiseling dessert out of corners.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and slightly thick.
- Fold in chopped pecans like you mean it.
- Spread batter evenly into the pan. Smooth the top with a spoon or the back of your willpower.
- Sprinkle extra pecans on top if you’re feeling extra (you are).
- Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden and slightly firm to touch.
- Cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Pretend to be civilized while eating.
