Ingredients


Blondies

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup + 1 1/2 teaspoon coconut flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup almond butter
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup diced apples peeled {I used honeycrisp apples}
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds


Streusel

  • 6 tablespoons almond butter
  • 6 tablespoon almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Blondies:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 8 x 8 baking sheet with parchment so that it hangs over edges a bit for easy removal.
  • Stir together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In an electric mixer beat together butter, almond butter, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla until evenly blended.
  • Slowly pour flour mix into mixer while running on low. As soon as it is incorporated add diced apples and almonds and stir together. Do not over mix, just a few turns with electric mixer, or stir together by hand.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan and smooth out top.

Streusel

  • Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until a crumbly consistency.
  • Spread over the top of batter and using fingers gently press down into batter.
  • Bake in oven for 40-45 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely then pull out of the pan by holding onto the parchment overlap. For extra clean cuts, use a large knife or pizza cutter.
