Paleo Almond Butter Blondies contain only 6 ingredients and are super easy to make! All you need for this amazing paleo dessert recipe is almond butter, eggs, honey, salt, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Really, it’s that simple!
Although Paleo Almond Butter Blondies are flourless, and made with an almond butter base they taste quite cakey. My husband says he can’t tell the difference between these healthy blondies and the “regular” kind!
In other rave reviews, I’ve cooked up this recipe more than a dozen times for my little league team. Even the batches I considered “failures” were devoured by those testers. Let’s not forget, I coach a bunch of 10 year boys who drink blue gatorade and are used to eating high-sugar, all-American desserts, not the healthy paleo desserts that I make. Although these flourless paleo bars are not that sweet, my team absolutely loved ’em.

My Paleo Almond Butter Blondie recipe is based on one from Kelly at Celiac Chicks. She traces the original recipe back to one from 2003 in Family Circle magazine.
Here are some of my other easy paleo dessert recipes:
Rona says
Rosa – I wonder if it would work better if you had the bottom burner of the oven on more than the top… or moved the oven shelf lower? Or perhaps check the temp?
Samantha says
I would like to say, I made these late last night and they were completely gone by mid-day today.
Even the sugar-junkies in my life LOVED them.
So easy and so delicious.
Elana says
Samantha, I’m so happy to hear even the sugar-junkies in your life LOVED these!
Mateo says
I love these. They’re quick and easy and yummy. I eat them like energy bars.
Elana says
Mateo, I’m so happy you love these!!!
Jenny says
This is SO GOOD!!! I just started on a gfree diet because I’ve been having a lot of problems with chronic fatigue. I have a 7 m/o son and I feel like i’m starting to get my life back. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful gfree recipes!
Elana says
Jenny, you’re welcome!
Taryn says
These were so yummy. I made the first mistake of baking in too small of a pan 9×9 but when I used the correct pan they were fantastic. I am going to make this my go to dessert when bringing places.
Elana says
Taryn, I’m happy to hear these were so yummy!
Caitlin says
Yum! I have made these many times and they are always a hit! I tried agave, but prefer to sub honey (1 C) for taste alone. I live around 4700 foot elevation, and always need to bake these bars for 50 minutes. I finally ordered the blanched almond flour that you recommend, but am still using up my Bob’s Red Mill almond flour, so perhaps that is why they have to bake so long.
This recipe is so easy that even my boyfriend can make them, and so delicious that he makes them a lot, so THANK YOU for getting my boyfriend to bake! :)
Elana says
Caitlin, that is awesome! I’m so glad your boyfriend is baking these :-)
Tina says
Wow! I just made this, with a slight tweak (used raw organic honey instead of agave) and oh my goodness it is delectable! So soft and gooey, and has a really yummy xmas feel to it! I bet adding some dried fruits would be awesome too, but I just added the said dark chocolate (didn’t have chips so chopped up 85% dark choc. into small cubes). Worked a treat! Thank you for this amazing recipe, and for all the other delightful desserts you come up with :)
Elana says
Tina, I’m so happy to hear this is delectable :-)
Tracy says
LOVE these. Like many others here, they last about a nano-second in our house. I just wanted to let others know that I made these with 1/2 tahini and 1/2 almond butter (only because I didn’t have enough almond butter on hand) and they were fabulous!
Tina says
How wonderful. I’m definitely going to try it with 1/2 and 1/2 tahini/almond butter next time. And when you get more almond butter, be sure to try it with the full amount, as I made it tonight and it tastes so good! :)
Kathleen says
This is one of my all time favorite dessert recipes! I cannot get over the fact they have NO flour in them and they bake up to be flaky. I halved the amount of agave in them and they still came out wonderful. These lasted maybe 3 days in our house..and I also gave a few to a family friend – her 3 year old girl cannot have gluten or dairy. She loved them. Thank you for posting the most delicious recipes!
