Ingredients

Frangipane

Blondies

  • ¾ cup melted unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1 ¾ cups gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • Powdered sugar, to garnish

Instructions 

  • First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the frangipane. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, almond extract, almond flour, and sugar. Stir until a pasty mixture forms.
  • Then, make the blondie batter. In a clean mixing bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Then, add in the eggs and almond extract. Stir together.
  • Add in the gluten free flour and baking soda. Stir to combine.
  • Spread half of this mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Carefully spread the frangipane on top. Spread out into an even layer.
  • Then, add the remaining blondie batter on top.
  • Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top.
  • Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • Once the blondies have fully cooled, garnish with powdered sugar and carefully slice.

Notes

  • Do not replace the almond flour.  This is key in the frangipane texture.
  • The frangipane mixture will slightly resemble a paste.
  • If you are not gluten free, feel free to replace the gluten free flour with all purpose flour.  Both work well.
  • The blondies are done baking when a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  • Allow the bars to fully cool before adding the powdered sugar and slicing into.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
