Hey, everybody!!!

(It’s me…Christy! The additive-free recipes gal!)

Long time, no see!!!!

Wow! It’s been soooooooo long since I’ve posted here that you’ve probably forgotten who I am! LOL!

Well, it’s been a long and crazy past couple of years…for everyone! Am I right?!?! So I’ve been distracted with a bazillion other things.

Just to catch you up to speed…

Chad and I are still living full-time in our RV, buuuuuuuuuuut…..we are no longer in California! I know…hard to believe, huh?!

We are working at a campground in Arizona right now for the winter, and we are soaking in this amazing warm winter weather here! Yay!

Next, we plan to work at a campground in Colorado for the summer. And, then???? Who knows!

Anywhoooooooooo….It’s 80 degrees here today, so we decided to make this yummy, additive-free smoothie. And I thought I’d share it with all of you here, too! Enjoy! 🙂

Almond Flour Blondies Recipe

Makes 12 bars

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

(Check out our FREE Grocery Shopping Guide for our tips on selecting the most additive-free versions of these ingredients.)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a 9″ x 9″ baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. If your coconut oil isn’t melted, melt the oil in a medium bowl. Add the almond butter, and melt together a bit longer if needed.
  3. Stir in the egg.
  4. Mix in the sugar.
  5. Add the vanilla, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
  6. Stir in the almond flour.
  7. Add 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  8. Spread the mixture in the parchment-lined pan, and press the batter around to fill the pan evenly (a small piece of parchment paper works great for this).
  9. Sprinkle the other 1/4 cup chocolate chips around evenly on top. Then press them into the batter.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Cut into 12 squares. Enjoy warm or cooled.
