Forget breakfast bars or muffins: Our new favorite grab-and-go breakfast is a blondie. Made with almond butter and flaxseed meal, they’re grain-free and packed full of protein.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 1 cup chopped nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, and/or pecans
- ¾ cup creamy unsweetened almond butter
Recipe Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8x8" baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Grease parchment with butter.
Cook nuts and 6 Tbsp. butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, swirling pan often, until butter foams, then browns, 5–6 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; set aside nuts. Add almond butter, maple syrup, flaxseed, vanilla, salt, and baking powder to hot brown butter and whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking to incorporate after each addition. Vigorously whisk batter until glossy and smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in all but about 3 Tbsp. reserved nuts. Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Top with remaining nuts.
Bake blondies until top is puffed and lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 18–22 minutes. Let cool.
Remove blondies from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into squares.
Do Ahead: Blondies can be baked 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped in plastic at room temperature.

OREO BLONDIES
When it comes to easy twists on delicious desserts, one of the easiest things you can do is mix in some crunchy Oreo pieces. If you’ve tried our recipe for Oreo Brownies, then you have to try Oreo Blondies next.

TIPS FOR MAKING OREO BLONDIES
- Prep time: Preheat your oven and prep your baking dish with cooking spray so the Blondies don’t stick. If you don’t have a cooking spray to grease the pan, line it with parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper to size and fold it around the edges to fit. Prepare the cookie pieces by putting the Oreos in the Ziploc bag and breaking them apart on the countertop.
- Batter: Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to your stand mixer and mix it together with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy. It should only take 1-2 minutes. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda, then add it to the stand mixer on its lowest speed. Fold in the Oreo chunks into the blondie batter with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- No stand mixer: If you don’t have a stand mixer to make the blondie batter, add the ingredients to a large bowl in the same order. Use a regular whisk or handheld electric mixer to combine the batter in a mixing bowl.
- Baking time: Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread the batter out into an even cookie layer. Put the Oreo Blondies in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Only bake them until golden brown, and take them out before they become too browned and crispy. Let the Blondies cool for a few minutes before slicing.
VARIATIONS ON OREO BLONDIES
- Chocolate chips: You can mix semisweet chocolate chips into your Blondies for an extra chocolate kick. Or for a white chocolate bar, mix in white chocolate chips.
- Golden Oreo Blondies: To make Golden Oreo Blondies, just replace the classic Oreos with vanilla Oreos.
- Peanut Butter Blondies: For Peanut Butter Oreo Blondies just mix 1/2 cup peanut butter into the recipe. Pop the peanut butter into the microwave to loosen it up, and pour the melted butter into the batter.
- Flour Mixture: You can use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to make an Oreo Blondie with some more nutrients.

HOW TO STORE OREO BLONDIES

- Store: You can also keep them covered or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freeze: To freeze the Oreo Blondies cut them into squares and put them in a Ziploc bag with the layers of Blondies separated by parchment paper. They’ll keep well for 3 months.

How to Make Blondies (You Only Need One Bowl)
This recipe makes blondies that are rich and dense with a paper-thin crinkly top. They are complex with lots of vanilla and dark brown sugar. They taste like deep, rich buttery caramel. Keep them simple or customize. Add chocolate, nuts, dried fruit — whatever.
All the magic happens in one bowl. If you’ve been following Inspired Taste for a while, you’re probably tuned in to our love of no fuss, no mess recipes. We’re terrible with staying ahead of dirty dishes. So anything “one bowl” snags major points in our book.
What You Will Need
Melted butter makes these blondies rich and delicious. I use unsalted butter when baking so that I can control the salt content. I’ve also used browned butter to make blondies with great success. Just swap browned butter for the melted butter called for in the recipe (here’s our tutorial for how to make browned butter).
Brown sugar makes the blondies taste almost like caramel. If you have it in your kitchen, use dark brown sugar. It adds even more flavor.
Egg gives structure, makes the bars tender, and helps the blondies rise a little. We don’t use any additional leavener for these, so the egg is important.
Vanilla extract and salt are essential in making the blondies taste amazing. I also love adding a little bit of almond extract.
All-purpose flour provides more structure, although we really don’t use much of it.
Making The Batter
To make the blondies, stir the brown sugar with melted butter. Add an egg and vanilla extract, and salt then stir again. When all the other ingredients are blended, add the flour. If you are adding any extra ingredients like chocolate chips, fold them in at the end.
Baking Them
The blondies bake about 25 minutes. It’s important not to overbake them. Overbaked blondies turn hard.
The blondies are ready to come out of the oven when look almost done. As they cool out of the oven, they continue to bake. So to make sure you have that moist, gooey middle, take blondies out when they edges look browned, but the middle looks a little underdone.

Banana Bread Blondies with Brown Butter Frosting
And since I called them ‘bread’ I don’t see why these blondies couldn’t be a breakfast, too?! They are perfectly suitable breakfast in my opinion.
I know that a lot of sugar is not quite healthy breakfast, but I can’t resist. So sue me! I like to eat them for breakfast! You can make them without the glaze if you’ll feel less guilty about it.
Actually these Banana Bread Blondies are great on their own, even without the brown butter frosting. They are already sweet and flavorful. They have amazing, rich flavor combo of banana, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
Sometime I like to make them without the topping, especially when I need quick and easy snack or dessert. But I like to add a glaze to make them look fancy for some special occasion or a party.
To tell the truth, I became a little obsessed with banana baked goods lately. So if you want more ides go and check!
What is a blondie?
I like to think of a blondie as like a brownie without the chocolate. They have a very similar texture, with a great chewiness and rich bite, but with a completely different flavor. They are very sweet, and you get notes of brown sugar and butter…and in this case, brown butter!
In times past, I would make these blondies with toffee bits mixed in, but I now make them with chopped walnuts. Something about the walnuts plays so well with the brown butter, and balances out the sweetness of the blondies.
While you could leave the nuts out, even a family member of mine who doesn’t like nuts admitted that they’re really good here.
1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4 and grease or line a small baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a bowl combine mashed banana, peanut butter, coconut oil and eggs. Stir in almond meal, baking powder and sea salt until just combined.
3. The mixture will be thick and may still be a touch lumpy, press into the lined tin and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
This recipe depends on ripe bananas, the spottier the better! These bananas are sweeter which means there’s no need to add any sweetener.
Tips and Procedures:
- Baking: Do not leave the blondies in the oven too long, it will overbake. Once they become golden around the edges remove them from the oven or insert a toothpick in the center at the 20-minute mark and if it&rsquos clean remove them from the oven.
- Spice: Change up the flavors by replacing the cinnamon with pumpkin spice.
- Extra Goey: To make the blondies even gooier add 1 tablespoon of molasses.
- Sinking in the middle: If your blondies sink in the middle whilst baking, it&rsquos due to overmixing the batter. The key point is don&rsquot overmix.
- Storage: After the blondies have cooled down completely store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Blondies
Technically these snack-worthy bars fall somewhere between a traditional blondie and a loaf of banana bread. We’ll just say that before 11am they lean towards the banana bread side of the spectrum, a perfectly suitable breakfast in my opinion. But after lunch they’re equally satisfying as a dessert: soft and tender and studded with chocolate chips.
I am excited to be working with White Lily and their new line of sustainably-grown, Non-GMO, fully traceable flour blends. I’ve been a fan of White Lily’s flours since I first moved to Nashville and discovered their magical powers (biscuits just aren’t the same without White Lily), and this new line takes that love one step further. I mean, not only is it sustainably grown and Non-GMO, but how many flour brands can tell you with precise accuracy the actual farmer who grew your wheat? Just enter the code on your package at WhiteLily.com and be amazed. (Shout out to Ed & Brenda Wolf and Tom & Wendy Zwainz who grew the wheat used in these blondies!) How cool is that?
The new premium flours are a blend of enriched Non-GMO certified wheat flour and grape seed flour that give the final baked goods a unique flavor and texture. I know, grape seed flour sounds kind of weird. But no, they do not actually taste like grapes (a relief, as I am admittedly not a grape lover).
I used the white grape blend in these blondies which gave them a subtle nutty texture for a darker baked good like a brownie, the red grape blend would be perfect. Basically you can treat the flours like you would wine: pairing the lighter flour with summer fruits, butter, and citrus, and the red varietal with bolder flavors like smoked meats, chocolate, and nuts (honestly I could have used either flour in the final recipe, but the red grape blend will give lighter baked goods a slightly purple hue).
My favorite banana bread is always made with chocolate chips, and I carried that over into these blondies, also adding in a hearty handful of chopped pecans to round out the textural element. While I toyed with the idea of adding a frosting or glaze to these (they’re just boring brown blobs!) ultimately I decided that they stood strong on their own, without any extra flair or fuss.
The premium flour blends can be substituted 1:1 in recipes calling for whole wheat flour. At the same time, I found them much finer and lighter than most whole wheat flours out there, producing a final baked good that is fluffy and tender, not thick and dense as has been my experience with most whole wheat baking. Don’t get me wrong, these blondies are in no way health food, but let’s just say you don’t have to feel quite as guilty eating them. :)
You can currently find the new White Lily® Premium Flour blends in stores in select states or online.
How to slice and store blondies:
Put your slab of loaded blondies on a cutting board and take the largest knife you have and press down to cut the slab into rows. Then you can cut each row into pieces. Make them as small or as large as you’d like. Blondies are just fine kept in a sealed container at room temperature for a few days. If you’d like to freeze them and enjoy them later, just make sure they are stored in a well sealed container. They will be good for 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Let them defrost at room temperature before serving.
If you’re looking for something new to bake, you should definitely give these blondies a shot. They are beyond fabulous. I tend to not like walnuts very much, wanting to stay true to the original recipe, I put them in anyways. They are wonderful in there, and they don’t overpower any of the flavors in the blondies. I LOVE these Loaded Blondies. I hope you do too. Enjoy!
