Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the blondies later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. This ensures that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent flavor in every bite.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. These wet ingredients bring moisture and richness that make the blondies soft and delicious.
  4. Blend the Batter: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry components and gently fold them together just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender instead of tough.
  5. Create the Cinnamon Swirl: Mix extra coconut sugar and cinnamon to make a paste. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture onto the batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it through for that classic cinnamon roll aesthetic and flavor.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes to set before slicing into squares. This makes cutting easier and lets the flavors develop fully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to mix more evenly and create a smooth batter texture.
  • Don’t skip the cinnamon sugar swirl, it is key to capturing that cinnamon roll magic.
  • Measure almond flour by spooning and leveling it instead of scooping to avoid dense blondies.
  • Watch the baking time carefully; slightly underbaking keeps them moist and chewy rather than dry and crumbly.
  • Let blondies cool completely before slicing to help them firm up and reduce crumbling.
