Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups paleo flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups coconut sugar
  • 1 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 2 inch vanilla bean, scraped
  • ½ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
  • ½ cup raw walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the paleo flour, baking soda, and salt.
    2 cups paleo flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk gently until well combined.
    2 cups coconut sugar, 1 cup coconut oil, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Slowly begin to add in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, ⅓ at a time. Mix with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the dried cranberries and walnuts.
    ½ cup unsweetened dried cranberries, ½ cup raw walnuts
  • Transfer the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the sides are set and the middle is still slightly gooey. When testing the doneness with the toothpick test, a few moist crumbs should be left on the toothpick.
  • Let gluten-free blondies cool completely before slicing into 9 pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

You can store your paleo blondies in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 3-5 days.
While these blondies are paleo and a healthier alternative to traditional blondies, they are not low in calories.
