Gluten-free Almond Butter Blondies with Chocolate Chunks and Chocolate Chips. Gluten-Free Blondies Vegan Blonde Brownies. Peanut Butter Blondie. Soy-free Palm oil free Recipe. Pin this post.
I had a jar of almond butter to use up. What better to do with it than to make blondies! These Gooey, soft, chocolately nut butter bars are a perfect snack or dessert. I use a mix of almond, oat flours (no xanthan) for the recipe to make these gluten-free. Use a cup of any regular flour for regular blondies. These blondies are One bowl if you mix in the baking soda by sifting the dry ingredients into the wet bowl. They are also palm oil free if you use nut butters that do not contain palm oil. See this post for brands that are palm oil free. Many Vegan chocolate options (Enjoy life, Theo) are also palm oil free and use cocoa butter.
Whisk all the wet ingredient in a bowl until smooth, If the nut butter takes too long to mix in. Gently heat it before adding or heat the entire wet bowl in a microwave or oven. Whisk in the dry. Fold in some chocolate, press in a pan, bake and done.

Hi Richa,
I made these today with peanut butter to serve tomorrow at a party. First time I ever made blondies. Thanks to you, they are delicious!!! I love the video. The first batch baked at 22 minutes was a little gooey, and the second batch at 24 minutes was less gooey. So since some people like more gooey and some less, everybody will be pleased. I liked both!
Hi, Richa! So, I needed a travel bar for tomorrow and your recipe popped up. WooHoo. I can’t do oats but while I was reaching for the almond flour and deciding what to replace them with I came across an unopened bag of pumpkin flour I’d been meaning to try.
1/2C of pumpkin flour, 1 Tbsp of cinnamon and a bit of coconut to go along with the chocolate chunks later I have exactly what I needed for my road trip. I even reduced the coconut sugar to 1/4C. They are yummy. I was afraid of the pumpkin flour but it works well. The only thing that didn’t was my arm! HaHa.
Next time? Food processor.
Thanks for the lovely Gluten Free recipe.
So glad you make YouTube videos now 😀 unfortunately, I am empty handed with almond butter. Okay, that’s a lie, but my family would be so unhappy if I used up our almond butter jars! XD Anyways, these look to die for, and I would love to try them out once I get a huge almond butter jar to myself!
Hi Richa,
Just trying out the recipe this evening and the batter is very dry, are the wet ingredients listed above correct? I used 1 cup of plain flour instead of the other flours, but otherwise followed everything as detailed.
Thanks,
Tony
It depends on your nut butter and the flour. if the nut butter isn’t warm enough, it will make the wet mixture thick already and make the mixture more dough like. You can press the doughy mixture into the pan and they should bake up just fine.
You can also add in 1 -2 tbsp more warm non dairy milk and mix it in really well (but this can be tricky), so i suggest baking as is if the mixture is not crumbly.
Thanks for the quick response, will give that a go!
Success! Super tasty, I don’t think they will last very long 🙂
Thanks again!
Awesome!! Warm the nut butter, add a bit less flour (3/4 cup + 2tbsp) and mix in. Add more if needed depending on the consistency. that way you can control the consistency and the mixture will spread easier.
My mouth is watering at the photos, they’re fantastic! And the cravings only got worse as I got through the post. They sound amazing, well done!
Richa, I feel like you could make a cookbook just out of brownie and blondie recipes, lol! I LOVE the use of nut butter in blondies. I also love the video idea!! One suggestion I would make is change the color of the font to something darker because white is hard to read. Thanks for another awesome gluten-free recipe!
Thanks Mae. I think I have about 10-15 recipes. For a book it would need at least 75 and while making the book I might have to do bake sales every week from home 🙂
Thanks. Yes, I did play around with the colors and black wasn’t very readable for some spots. I think a fatter and larger font and changing the location depending on the background will help. Gotta take some lessons from the video pros!
so sure that they taste good! x

Thanks for this delish recipe! When you say substitute 1 cup flour to make non gf blondies, does that 1 cup replace oat, coconut and almond flour?
Thanks so much!
Yes it replaces the oat + almond + coconut + starch. Add baking soda and cinnamon to the flour and mix in the wet.
tried with the changes – amazing! thanks!!
Great!
Looks good! Nice job on the video.
Thank you susan
Wow, absolutely perfect recipe. These Blondie’s turned out great! Anyone reading this recipe should have full confidence in the final outcome.
