    Who doesn't love brownies? This blondie recipe gives you all the soft and chewy goodness of brownies without the chocolate. Instead, it amps up the flavor with maple and walnuts. These cookie bars are perfect for when you're looking for something a little different for a treat.

    Here's a deliciously healthy maple blondie recipe created by my fellow food bloggers, Rami and Vicky Abrams, from Tasteaholics!

    Maple Walnut Blondies

    Many people think that paying attention to your health means dooming yourself to a life filled with bland, tasteless food, and we couldn’t disagree more!

    These maple walnut blondies are a win in virtually any social setting: they’re easy to make, low-carb, paleo, and gluten-, grain-, and dairy-free!

    One of the best ways to be a health ambassador is to show off how delicious low-carb eating can be, and there’s no better place to start than with dessert! With a base made from coconut oil, almond flour, and walnuts, these blondies are packed with as much nutrition as flavor!

    Additionally, we’re all about convenience and this recipe is quick and easy to make.

    How to make blondies

    Be sure to heat the coconut oil only until it is just melted, then whisk the eggs into the coconut oil rapidly to ensure an even texture. Overheating the oil will cause it to begin cooking the eggs as soon as the two ingredients combine, and this can cause inconsistencies in the batter.

    You’ll also want to avoid overmixing the dry ingredients: whisk them together until they’re thoroughly combined, then stop immediately and proceed to the next step.

    Finally, enjoy! These blondies pair well with a strong cup of coffee to start your day off with some extra zest, or as a dessert that’s a refreshing way to end your day!
