Ingredients

  • cup (150g) unsweetened applesauce
  • ¾ cup (180g) unsalted almond butter
  • ½ cup (120g) organic cane sugar
  • ¼ cup (40g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoons (138g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (33g) packed coconut flour (pack the measuring cup)
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (50g) raw walnuts chopped
  • ½ cup (88g) dairy-free white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add applesauce and almond butter. With an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add cane sugar, coconut sugar, and maple syrup and beat again on medium-high speed for about a minute.
  • Add remaining ingredients except walnuts and white chocolate chips and beat on low speed just until mixture is combined. Do not over mix.
  • Fold in walnuts and white chocolate chips and transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. The edges will be firm. If it seems like it needs more time to bake, tent the blondies with foil and bake in 5-minute increments. (They will be slightly gooey in the middle.)
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 9 or 16 squares.

Notes

To store: Keep the blondies in a an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To freeze: Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
