Brown Butter Blondies

These Grain Free Brown Butter Blondies are rich, sweet, and incredibly delicious! They are gluten free and naturally sweetened.

These bars are so simple to make and sure to become a favorite. They're like an amazing chocolate chip cookie, but taken to the next level with the browned butter.

Browning Butter

This may seem hard or fancy, but it's so simple and quick and adds amazing flavor. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until nutty and brown in color. About 4 ½-5 minutes. You'll see a definite change- it will go from bubbling and noisy to foaming and quiet. As soon as it goes quiet, take it off the heat. I stir with a whisk regularly to prevent burning.

Ingredients in blondies

Brown butter- as covered in the previous paragraph, this makes them so rich with caramel notes.

Almond flour- this is the base of the recipe and keeps the bars gluten and grain free while

Coconut sugar- for the sweetness which adds a deep flavor. White sugar can be used if desired.

Egg- to help bind the dough together. An egg replacement can be used.

Cashew butter- this helps bind the dough together and adds richness. Another nut butter can be used, I just think cashew has the most mild flavor.

Chocolate chips- any kind will work here, dark/milk. I usually go for a darker chocolate, but this can be taken whatever direction you prefer.

I know you will love these grain free brown butter blondes because they are rich, sweet, and so incredibly delicious! Here are some more blondies to try:
