Paleo Chocolate Chip Blondies
I loved these Paleo Blondies from The Nourished Kitchen Guide to Grain-free & Dairy-free Baking, Sweets and Treats. They were extremely easy to make. I wasn’t sure about adding unsweetened coconut to the paleo blondies but it really adds a nice touch to the recipe. I threw the ingredients together in 5 minutes and let it bake. I did disregard one set of directions; I didn’t wait for the paleo blondies to completely cool before eating one. I don’t know about you but I can never wait to taste test stuff. The paleo blondies reminded me of chocolate chip cookie bars.
I also took this as an opportunity to try a moody type of photography. I hope you like the look.

These came out dry and awful. There definitely did not have enough liquid to make a ‘batter’.
You must have skipped an ingredient, used a granular sugar instead of honey or used less than what it called for because the batter was very “wet” and the finished bar was anything but dry. For the main wet ingredients you needed: 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey
I made them and they are AWESOME! They came out perfectly and were super easy and fast to put together. I used a little less shredded coconut and I did not have the right size pan, but they still came out great! The poster above must have left out an ingredient because it was a perfect batter and I am not a real talented baker (to put it nicely :P).
Thanks!
I thought I had already commented on these… They are so good! First time I made them I added extra coconut and used 1 c almond meal (from trader joes) and 1/4 c coconut flour with an extra egg, and milk chocolate chips. Everyone loved them. Today I’m using coconut nectar instead of honey, same flour combination and dark chocolate chips, no cinnamon. Can’t wait to see how they come out.
Can’t wait to try these! The only paleo baked goods I’ve tried haven’t come out very well!
Also, it’s important to note that “blanched almond flour” is very different than “almond meal”. The correct ingredients do make a difference in the outcome.
Omg I made these tonight and they are heavenly! I dont care for coconut so I did chocolate chips and pecan pcs but man oh man such moist fluffy goodness!
I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9×13″ pan for 25 minutes. I also used white chocolate chips instead of dark and added 1/2 cup of macadamia nuts. They smell good and look golden brown. I’ll see how they are taste tomorrow!
Awesome!!! So easy to make, and delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m completely addicted to these!!! They are the perfect replacement for whenever i crave something sweet and awful, and I don’t ever feel bad sharing it with my small children. YUM.
They are pretty tasty!
These are very delicious! Easy to make — not a lot of extra ingredients. We followed the recipe exactly except we used the mini chocolate chips rather than the regular size, and there was plenty of chocolate in every bite.
Hello,
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of almond flour?
You know this is a gluten-free blog, right? You would be better searching on Pinterest for a regular blondies recipe and adding chocolate chips to it instead of trying to switch this one from gluten-free to whole wheat flour.
