These amazing, fudgy vegan almond butter blondies only take 15 minutes to whip up in one bowl. After mixing, you just pour them into a baking pan and bake to perfection.
This blondies recipe is lightly sweetened, fudgy, and buttery, with flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. Use other flours or gluten-free flour blend of choice. If you are using a whole grain flour to replace the white flour in this recipe, add 1 to 2 tablespoons less than the mentioned quantity, and add more only if the mixture is too wet.
Not only are almond butter blondies delicious and easy to make, the batter is free from added refined oil! If you want to make them completely oil-free, use cacao nibs in place of the chocolate chips.
They’re also refined sugar-free, since we sweeten these blondies with coconut sugar, which gives them such a nice flavor.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- almond butter – Helps the blondies get decadently fudgy with no added oil. Choose a kind that’s drippy, not stiff. You can use other nut or seed butters instead, too!
- non-dairy milk – Adds moisture. Choose nut- and/or soy-free, if needed.
- coconut sugar – For sweetness. You can use granulated sugar instead, if you prefer.
- vanilla extract – Gives the almond butter blondies such a great flavor!
- flour – You want unbleached, white flour for this recipe. You can use gluten-free or whole grain flour instead. If you use whole grain flour, reduce the amount by one to two tablespoons.
- oat flour – Adds a nice texture.
- baking soda and salt – To condition the batter.
- cinnamon – For flavor.
- vegan chocolate chips – Because why wouldn’t you?
💡 Tips for the Best Blondies!
- Let the nut butter sit a bit to come to room temperature so it mixes easily into the wet ingredients. Or microwave to warm it.
- If the batter is too thick (nut butters can have less or more moisture), add a bit more non dairy milk.

Frequently Asked Questions
To make these soy-free, just be sure that your non-dairy milk and chocolate chips are soy-free.
For nut-free, use a seed butter, like pumpkin seed or sunflower seed butter.
For a gluten-free version, try my gluten-free almond butter blondies!
Made these tonight and the outcome was underwhelming. The recipe has too much flour so when they are put in the oven, it has a cake texture and isn’t moist like a brownie, so it basically crumbles. It tasted like a mug cake I could make in the microwave. Try tweaking this some more.
Try taking them out earlier so that they are still soft and fudgy! You won’t get salmonella or anyhting anyway because they’re vegan. I did the same thing!😆
I’ve made this several times already and it is always a hit! What a delicious vegan dessert!
I’m SO glad you enjoyed this! 🙂
