Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Can be substituted with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated White Sugar Can replace with coconut sugar for a lower-glycemic option.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour All-purpose flour can be used if nut-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Omitting might dampen the overall taste.
  • 1 large Egg A flax egg can be used for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Vanilla extract can be used but will change the flavor profile.
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour A gluten-free blend is another great choice.
For the Toppings
  • ½ cup Sliced Almonds Swap with chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
  • optional Powdered Sugar Dust for added sweetness; entirely optional.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then mix in 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar until thick.
  3. Let the mixture cool, then stir in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of almond extract. Mix well.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of almond flour, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt, until just mixed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly, then top with sliced almonds.
  6. Bake for 30-34 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the blondies in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
