Ingredients
128 grams all purpose flour (1 cup)
30 grams almond flour (1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
113 grams unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup/1 stick)
1 egg
210 grams light brown sugar (1 cup, packed)
30 grams golden syrup, or honey (2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
65 grams almond butter (1/4 cup)
25 grams old fashioned oats (1/4 cup)
90 grams white chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
40 grams unsweetened dried cherries, chopped (1/4 cup)
35 grams unsalted almonds, coarsely chopped (1/4 cup)
Flaked almonds, to decorate (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C. Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking tin with parchment, spray lightly with cooking spray, and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix softened butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg, brown sugar, golden syrup, and vanilla bean paste.
Mix in the almond butter.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the oats, white chocolate chips, dried cherries, and chopped almonds.
Spread blondie batter into prepared tin, then use damp fingertips to evenly distribute the mixture. (Batter will be thick.)
Top with the sliced almonds.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Allow blondies to cool completely before slicing.
Store leftover blondies in an airtight container, layered between sheets of parchment, for up to five days.
