This blondies recipe is lightly sweetened, fudgy, and buttery, with flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. Use other flours or gluten-free flour blend of choice. If you are using a whole grain flour to replace the white flour in this recipe, add 1 to 2 tablespoons less than the mentioned quantity, and add more only if the mixture is too wet. 

Not only are almond butter blondies delicious and easy to make, the batter is free from added refined oil! If you want to make them completely oil-free, use cacao nibs in place of the chocolate chips.

They’re also refined sugar-free, since we sweeten these blondies with coconut sugar, which gives them such a nice flavor.

Notes

To make these soy-free, just be sure that your non-dairy milk and chocolate chips are soy-free.
For nut-free, use a seed butter, like pumpkin seed or sunflower seed butter.
For a gluten-free version, try my gluten-free almond butter blondies!
You can use peanut butter instead of almond butter for peanut butter blondies!
Let the nut butter sit a bit to come to room temperature so it blends well. Or microwave to warm it. 
If the batter is too thick (nut butters can have less or more moisture), add a bit more non dairy milk.
