How to Make Almond Croissant Blondies

PIN IT

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking pan.

In a bowl, mix melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.

Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until the mixture becomes thick and slightly fluffy.

Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined—don’t overmix. This is what keeps that chewy texture.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out.

Now, make the frangipane: mix almond flour, sugar, butter, egg, and almond extract until creamy.

Spoon the frangipane over the blondie base and gently swirl it in—this creates pockets of rich almond goodness.

Sprinkle sliced almonds generously on top.

Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden on the edges and just set in the center.

Let cool completely before slicing… then dust with powdered sugar for that bakery finish
