    Ultra fudgy and delicious gluten-free monster blondies! A soft baked blondie-style cookie with festive M&Ms and chocolate chunks scattered throughout. This treat will definitely cure that sweet tooth. Plus they’re paleo-friendly, gluten-free and dairy-free!

    Gluten-free Monster Blondies

    Cookies are great and all but cookie BARS man, they’re next level awesome. It’s like a blondie and a cookie all in one bite. I’m talking soft and buttery on the inside but crispy and golden on the edges and a sprinkle of chocolate in the middle. Oh, and please make it with all natural ingredients like almond flour and nut butter and coconut sugar. All I can say is, sign me up!

    The Ultimate Halloween Treat

    So, when I was brainstorming the ultimate Halloween treat, one thing came to mind — monsters. I love a good pumpkin flavored treat this time of year but monsters add a little scariness factor to the bunch that you can’t get from pumpkin.

    I thought, why don’t we combine the fun monster-style cookie we all know and love with one of my favorite sweet treats - blondies. Oh, and make it extra scary and use the M&Ms Ghouls mix (aka a combination of fun Halloween-style M&Ms). Turns out this mixture of monsters and blondies made the most perfect Halloween treat!

    How to Make Almond Butter Blondies

    These gluten-free blondies are simple and easy to make and can be whipped up in no time (a blessing and a curse 😉 )!

    1. Start by whisking together the flours and baking soda in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
    2. Next, beat the coconut milk, egg, almond butter, and vanilla together until creamy.
    3. Then, fold in the flour mixture slowly into the bowl with the coconut milk. Fold until no flour clumps remain.
    4. Stir in the M&Ms and chocolate chunks. Pour the batter into your baking pan and bake! Definitely wait for them to cool down a bit before slicing so they have some time to set up. This is what gives them that ultra fudgy factor!
