What Are Blondies?
Blondies are a type of dessert bar similar to brownies but made without cocoa powder, giving them a light brown color. They have a soft, chewy texture that’s often compared to a cookie. Traditionally, blondies are flavored with vanilla and can include mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips. Some popular variations feature ingredients such as caramel, peanut butter, or fruit to add extra flavor and texture.
Are Blondies Keto?
Blondies can be made keto-friendly by using low-carb ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, and natural sweeteners such as erythritol or stevia instead of traditional flour and sugar. It’s also important to choose keto-approved chocolate chips and nuts that are low in carbohydrates to fit within your daily macronutrient goals.
Traditional blondies, however, are not naturally keto-friendly because they contain regular flour and brown sugar, which are high in carbohydrates and sugar—ingredients that don’t fit into a keto diet.
To make delicious keto blondies, swap out traditional flour and sugar for low-carb alternatives like almond flour and coconut flour. These substitutions help keep your dessert satisfying while staying within your keto macros.
Ingredients for Keto Blondies
To make these delicious keto blondies, you’ll need a handful of simple, low-carb ingredients:
- Eggs: Large eggs bind the keto blondies and provide structure. If your eggs are smaller, you may need to use more.
- Butter: Adds rich, buttery flavor and keeps the blondies moist and tender.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor, giving your keto blondies that classic, irresistible taste.
- Brown Sugar Alternative: Use erythritol-based sweeteners or brown sugar substitutes like Sukrin Gold to keep it sugar-free and low-carb.
- Almond Flour: Helps make these keto blondies fluffy and light. It’s packed with healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein, making it an excellent substitute for regular flour.
- Coconut Flour: Used alongside almond flour to improve texture and maintain a gluten-free recipe.
- Baking Powder & Salt: Help the blondies rise and become perfectly fluffy when baked.
- Dark Chocolate Chips: Use sugar-free dark chocolate chips, or chop your favorite sugar-free dark chocolate as an alternative.
How To Make Keto Blondies
You only need to follow some easy steps to make these tasty keto blondies. Trust me when I say that you are not going to find an easier recipe than this.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180C and prepare a baking pan. I prefer to use parchment paper because it makes lifting the pieces out of the pan and cutting them into squares simpler.
- Make the keto blondies batter. Combine all the wet ingredients and mix until frothy.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients until a smooth batter with no lumps visible forms.
- Add the sugar-free chocolate chips or your favorite nuts. You can keep a few for the top.
- Bake these low carb blondies for almost 30 minutes. Allow them to cool before cutting into squares.
Tips for Making the Best Keto Blondies
- Beat the batter thoroughly for at least 5 minutes. This helps the ingredients combine well and creates a thicker, fluffier batter for perfect texture.
- Add flaky sea salt on top before baking to enhance the flavor with a delightful sweet and salty contrast.
- Experiment with extra flavors like almond extract, cinnamon, or even low-carb fruits such as strawberries or blueberries to personalize your keto blondies.
- Use room temperature ingredients (especially eggs and butter) to ensure better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Don’t overbake—check your blondies a few minutes before the recommended baking time to keep them soft and gooey inside.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and to keep your blondies intact.
- Chill before cutting to help the blondies set properly and prevent crumbling when sliced.
Can I Add Nuts To This Recipe?
Yes! Adding chopped pecans or walnuts can give these keto blondies a little bit of a crunch and additional flavor.
How to Store These Sugar-Free Keto Blondies
- You can store them in the fridge for up to one week.
- If you are not a big fan of storing the desserts in the refrigerator, you will be happy to know that these keto blondies can be stored at room temperature for about three days.
You can even freeze them. Place blondies in the fridge for about one hour, then transfer them to a freezer bag and place them in the freezer. When you want to eat them, defrost them overnight and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
How Do I Know When the Keto Blondies Are Done?
Look for blondies to be golden around the edges and to pull away from the sides of the pan slightly.
The top should be set, but the middle may appear softer (or less done) than the sides. This is fine! Allow it to rest fir a few minutes. Also, a skewer inserted in the middle should come out clean.
How Are Blondies Different From Brownies?
The main difference between a brownie and a blondie is that blondies don’t contain cocoa powder. While brownies have a strong chocolatey taste, blondies are made without cocoa and have rich notes of vanilla and butter.
Blondies have a chewier texture and a more molasses-like flavor than brownies because of brown sugar and butter. And thanks to brown Swerve, you can adapt the traditional keto blondie recipe to a keto diet.
Can You Make These Keto Blondies Vegan?
Certainly yes. These delicious keto blondies are keto and gluten-free, but there is no problem if you are following a dairy-free or vegan diet.
You can easily replace the butter and eggs with coconut oil and flax eggs.
By following these tips and substitutions, you can enjoy the taste of blondies while sticking to your ketogenic diet. Give this recipe a try and let us know how you like it in the comments below!
