Ok friends, I’m going to keep short and sweet for you today because;

1 – My sweet family has been struck down with a nasty, nasty cold/flu so I have my hands full on the “mom duty” front.

2 – My laptop is dying a slow and painful death. At this point, I have unsuccessfully attempted to upload this recipe for you at least 6 times now ( but whose counting?!) and each time I get about half way through then my laptop freezes, I lose everything and have to start over again. Ain’t no body got time for that!

3 – Who wants to sit here and read my ramblings (although I really appreciate you being here) when there are salted choc chip almond butter blondies to be made.

But, not just any ol’ blondies . . .

You guys, these blondies . . . I don’t want to toot my own horn but, I think I may have outdone myself on this one.

I’d even go as far as saying that these could very well be the best blondie (or brownie or baked good!!!)  that I’ve ever made!

EVER!

My family agrees

*toot, toot*

They’re  subtly sweet, deliciously buttery, crispy, almost cookie like on the edges and super fudgy in middle and would you just look at those puddles of melted chocolate. Insert all the heart eye emojis here ↓↓↓

There are few moments in life where words and descriptions are not required and I firmly believe that this, my friend , may be one of them!

I mean can you even . . .

Made with no refined flours or sugars using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl, with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in just 20 minutes!

This recipe make 4 large, 6 medium or 9 bite size blondies so it’s perfect for those moments when you really want a blondie (or 2), which if you’re anything like me is pretty much daily  (please tell me I’m not the only one!? ) but you don’t want to bother baking, or can’t be trusted with ( ← we’ve all been there), an entire batch of 12-24.

Feel free to double-triple-quadruple the batch if you’re feeding a crowd (or have the self control of a saint) – just make sure you adjust the bake time accordingly – and although they re-heat like a dream – they’re so quick and easy to make and I think you and I can both agree that nothing quite compares to that new, new, freshly baked, ooey, gooey goodness.
