These chewy gluten-free browned butter blondies use almond flour for a dense, moist crumb with a rich nutty flavor from browned butter. Perfect for a quick, satisfying treat that doesn’t sacrifice texture or flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (recommended: Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with toasted nutty aromas. Remove from heat immediately once caramel-like smell and small brown specks appear.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine browned butter (cooled slightly), brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Fold dry into wet: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  5. Prepare pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting sides hang over for easy removal. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake blondies for 22-25 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool completely: Let blondies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing to set and develop chewiness.

Notes

Brown the butter carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Let browned butter cool slightly before mixing with eggs to prevent cooking them prematurely. Do not overmix batter to keep blondies tender and chewy. Cool completely before slicing for best texture. Parchment paper makes removal and cleanup easier. Overbaking results in cakier blondies.
