Baking soda
Sea salt

Ginger
Nutmeg

Paleo Gingerbread Blondies – How To Make
First, combine your dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until combined. This includes the almond flour, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, baking soda, spices, and sea salt.
Next, add the 1/2 cup almond butter, molasses, egg, vanilla, and oil. I used avocado oil but you can substitute melted coconut oil if you’d like.
Gently stir the mixture until a thick dough is formed. Avoid over mixing.
Add the mixture to a parchment paper lined 8×8 baking dish. I used a glass dish like this one. Use your hands to spread and flatten the gingerbread dough into the pan.
Bake in a 350℉ oven for 25-27 minutes. The cook time will vary oven to oven, so be sure to keep an eye on them.
Let the blondies cool in the pan.
For the powdered sugar topping, blend a small amount of maple sugar in a blender, and sprinkle on top. You can substitute regular powdered sugar if you don’t need to be strict paleo.
Paleo Gingerbread Blondies – Tips
- Don’t over mix the batter. Gently fold in the wet ingredients until a thick batter is formed.
- If you want to turn these into paleo gingerbread chocolate chunk blondies, by all means, mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter.
- Let cool in the pan. This gingerbread blondie recipe will continue to set up as it cools, giving it that yummy chewy texture.
- For the optional topping, blend a few tablespoons of granulated maple sugar in a blender and sprinkle on top! Or substitute regular powdered sugar if you don’t need the blondies to be strict paleo.
These blondies were so fun to make! I hope you enjoy them!

These are delicious. I made them for a treat awhile back and now for Christmas dessert. We have a guest on AIP, he loves these!
SO happy to hear that! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, Deanna! Merry Christmas!
I don’t always like almond flour desserts but this was very good! It tastes just like ginger bread. The texture was kind of like a brownie but a little chewy in a good way. I will definitely make it again
Thanks, Katie! I really appreciate your kind comment. So glad you loved them! Happy Holidays!
