Servings: 20 bars
Calories: 193kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- ¼ cup 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup oat flour*
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8- or 9x9-inch square pan (I used a 9x9-inch metal pan) with parchment; lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the almond butter, melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, mix in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan with a rubber spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, check blondies for doneness. If they are browning too much cover them with foil. Bake about 5 minutes more, until a tester inserted in the center comes out nearly clean. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
*You can make your own oat flour in your food processor or blender. For 1 cup of oat flour, process 1 heaping cup of old-fashioned oats until finely ground, about 1 minute.
