Ingredients
  • 8 Tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 1⅓ cup almond fine ground almond flour
  • ½ cup of Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener
  • ½ tsp salt (I use Redmond Real Salt)
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup walnuts finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Prepare a 9x9 baking dish by greasing it (I use Chosen Foods spray avocado oil).
  2. Cut two strips of parchment paper smaller than the width of the bottom of the pan and lay then down so they cross over the inside of the dish and make a plus sign. This step is not mandatory but allows you to easily pull the blondies out of the pan once they are cooled to make cutting a breeze.
  3. Melt butter in a large glass bowl.
  4. Add sweetener and mix well.
  5. Add vanilla and mix well.
  6. Add egg (ensure mixture has cooled slightly so the egg mixes in evenly).
  7. In a separate bowl mix almond flour, salt and baking powder.
  8. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until all ingredients come together.
  9. Chop or crush walnuts until they are small pieces. An easy way to do this is to put them in a baggie and either smash with your hands gently or the back of a cup or bowl.
  10. Fold the walnuts into the mixture and pour into a greased pan.
  11. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
Notes
Allow bars too cool completely in the pan and then refrigerate for about an hour before cutting. They can get a bit crumbly when they come to room temp. Once cut store in the fridge!
