How to Make Decadent Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Blondies

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want to ensure it’s nice and warm so that your blondies bake evenly, creating a delightful crust on the outside while maintaining that gooey center.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to mix everything together until it’s well combined. The beautiful thing about gluten free baking is that it often requires fewer ingredients!

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil or butter with both sugars. Stir until it’s smooth. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.

Step 4: Combine Them Together

Now, gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Use your rubber spatula to combine everything without overmixing. You’ll know it’s perfectly mixed when there are no dry flour pockets remaining. Just a heads up—this is where the tempting smell of sweet dough will start to fill your kitchen!

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in your chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Make sure each decadent bite will have a satisfying amount of gooeyness!

Step 6: Prepare the Baking Pan

Line your 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some extra hanging over the sides to make it easier to lift out the blondies once baked. This will make cleanup a snap, and you won’t have to worry about them sticking.

Step 7: Bake It Up

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8: Cooling and Serving

Once out of the oven, let your blondies cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack, then slice them into squares.

What to Serve with Decadent Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Blondies

These blondies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them further by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side. They also pair wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or tea.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature; this helps in achieving that perfectly blended batter.
• If your blondies come out a little undercooked, that’s okay! They’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
• Want to prep ahead? You can mix up the dry ingredients and store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to bake.
• For a double batch, simply use a 9×13-inch pan and extend the baking time by 10 minutes.

Storage Instructions

To store your blondies, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them! Just slice them and place pieces in a freezer-friendly container, layering parchment paper in between. They’ll stay fresh for up to three months. Simply thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.

The recipe I’ve shared reflects the many attempts I’ve made throughout the years to create the ultimate treat that’s both delicious and gluten free. There’s something incredibly rewarding about baking, especially when it can be shared with others.
