Coconut Macadamia Blondies
Gluten Free Living – 2016
Coconut Macadamia Blondies are healthier, gluten free brownies that you’ll love. These blondies use coconut sugar instead of regular sugar, and gluten free flour instead of regular flour. They also include coconut and macadamia nuts providing lots of crunchy texture in every bite. This simple recipe is a sweet tooth delight, especially if you’re a coconut lover.

I had a little coconut sugar leftover after making my Gluten Free Fudgy Almond Brownies back in September. I decided to try my hand at this recipe and they turned out so ooey, gooey and delicious. I love gooey brownie recipes and these are wonderful. When I made a batch of these brownies, they were gobbled up very quickly.
If you enjoy coconut desserts, you’ll love Coconut Macadamia Blondies. I recommend them for holiday baking, too. Especially if you have friends or family members that enjoy sweets but are trying to stay away from regular sugar or flour. We loved these goodies and hope you will too!

Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients. I don’t recommend Pamela’s gluten free products for baking but it was the only gluten free product available at the time. I recommend Cup4Cup.
Soften butter. Place in a mixing bowl with eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, aluminum free baking powder and pink Himalayan sea salt.
Mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add gluten free flour, macadamia nuts and coconut.
Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
Grease an 8×12″ glass baking dish. Pour batter into baking dish. Top with additional coconut and macadamia nuts.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
