How To Make Salted Caramel Almond Butter Blondies
Almond Flour: this gluten-free flour gives the blondies a soft, yet dense texture that melts in your mouth. We find that almond flour is a key component in this recipe and we do not recommend substituting other flours. If you do, and find that you enjoyed the outcome, please leave a comment below for our fellow bakers!
Almond Butter: it’s an ‘almond’ kind of recipe! Almond butter tastes the best in these blondies, but can be substituted for cashew butter, if necessary. Peanut or other nut butters may have too much of an overpowering flavor.
Organic White Cane Sugar: can be easily substituted for brown sugar!
Medjool Dates: “nature’s caramel”! Fresh medjool dates make the best plant-based caramel sauce because of their chewy, sticky texture and sweet, caramel-like flavor.
How to Make Medjool Date Caramel
Medjool date caramel is plant-based salted caramel sauce made with medjool dates, plant milk, maple syrup, and sea salt. To make it, simply blend ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Medjool date caramel takes only 10-15 minutes to make. Prep a large batch and have on hand to use in other vegan dessert or breakfast recipes! Our medjool date caramel recipe yields 16 oz.
