Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup

Cinnamon Swirl Mixture

1/2 cup almond butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon until they are evenly combined to create a cinnamon-spiced dry base.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then stir in the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup maple syrup, mixing well to incorporate all wet ingredients.
Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth and thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small bowl, combine almond butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup, mixing until it forms a sticky, spreadable cinnamon swirl.
Assemble and Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly on top. Pour the remaining batter over and use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating beautiful cinnamon roll patterns.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs for a chewy texture.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan to set properly. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy their warm, gooey cinnamon roll-inspired flavor.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
Almond flour can vary in coarseness; finely ground almond flour will yield a smoother texture.
For a nut-free version, consider using sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter for the swirl.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
These blondies can be reheated briefly to regain some softness and gooeyness.
