Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
3/4 cup natural almond butter (unsweetened, smooth)
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and fully blended.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter becomes creamy and uniform.
4. Stir in the baking soda and salt. Mix gently to combine.
5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Allow the blondie brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them firm up and develop their fudgy texture.

Storage/Reheating

Store the blondie brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

To reheat, microwave a slice for 10–15 seconds to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?

Yes, but plain Greek yogurt is recommended to control sweetness and flavor balance.

Are these brownies truly gluten-free?

Yes, as long as all packaged ingredients (like chocolate chips) are certified gluten-free.

Can I substitute peanut butter for almond butter?

Yes, natural peanut butter works well and gives a slightly stronger flavor.

Why are my blondies too soft in the center?

They may need a few extra minutes of baking. Also, they firm up as they cool.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

How do I know when they’re done baking?

The edges should be set, and the center should look slightly firm but still moist.

Do these taste more like brownies or blondies?

They are a balanced mix—chewy like a blondie with the richness of a brownie.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Adjust baking time to 28–35 minutes.

What makes them high in protein?
