Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • Almond flour – 2 cups
  • Coconut sugar – 3/4 cup
  • Cinnamon – 2 teaspoons (plus extra for swirl)
  • Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • Eggs – 2 large, room temperature
  • Coconut oil – 1/4 cup, melted (plus extra for cinnamon swirl)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Cinnamon Swirl

  • Extra cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
  • Coconut sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Melted coconut oil – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Measure out all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution of the cinnamon and leavening agent.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until smooth, adding moisture and richness to the blondies.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to keep the blondies tender; avoid over-mixing.
  5. Create the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix extra cinnamon with coconut sugar and melted coconut oil. Drizzle this mixture over the blondie batter in the pan, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it, creating the signature cinnamon roll effect.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs remaining.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to preserve their shape and texture. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t skip the cinnamon swirl—it brings the cinnamon roll flavor alive.
  • Watch the oven closely as paleo flours brown faster to prevent over-baking.
  • Use freshly ground or well-stored almond flour for best texture and flavor.
  • Cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbly pieces.
