We are big butterscotch fans in our house but I don’t know the last time we had any butterscotch treats. So when I saw the butterscotch chips at the store, I knew I needed to get to baking. These blondies are light, buttery, and have that delicious butterscotch taste to them.
In case you are wondering what a blondie is, well it’s basically a brownie without the chocolate. And since I love brownies, blondies are high on my list too. Even without the chocolate. The butterscotch gives this such a good flavor. You could even do a mix with regular chocolate chips too if you want some chocolate flavor in there too. The base is simple, almond flour, all-purpose flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. They bake up fluffy and slightly cake-like.

Tips & FAQ for the Blondies
I prefer glass 8×8 for baking. Always lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non stick.
Sealed in the fridge for up to 5 days.
I do recommend butter, but melted coconut oil would work too. I don’t recommend subsituting any of the flours
In general, it’s best to spoon into the measuring cup so you don’t overpack the amount.
