Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Total: 45 mins | Quantity: 12 generous squares

Ingredients

Blondies

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecan nuts – roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1/2 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Pip & Nut Smooth Almond Butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tblsp Pip & Nut Unsweetened Almond Milk

Filling

  • 1 tblsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Pip & Nut Chocolate & Coconut Hazelnut Butter
  • 1 tblsp raw cacao powder
  • 2 tblsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line a 24cm x 18cm (9 x 7 inch) baking tray with parchment, covering the base and sides
  2. Using a blender or food processor whizz the oats until they become a fine powder
  3. Tip the ground oats into a large bowl along with the ground almonds, baking soda, baking powder, coconut sugar, chopped pecans dessicated coconut and 1/4 cup chocolate chips.  Stir everything together until well combined
  4. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or in a saucepan then whisk in the almond butter, vanilla and almond milk
  5. Add this wet mix to your bowl of dry ingredients and stir lightly but well until just mixed together
  6. Spoon half of this mix into your prepared tin and push out to the edges, covering the base completely
  7. For the filling, melt the coconut oil then whisk in the chocolate hazelnut butter, cacao powder and maple syrup then pour over the base of your blondie.  Put in the fridge for around half an hour until set enough to spread over the top
  8. Gently spread the remaining half of the blondie batter over the chocolate layer, covering the filling then bake for 25-30 minutes.  These are a soft set bake and will firm up upon cooling.  You don't want them too firm as their charm all comes from their gooeyness ?
  9. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares
  10. Store in an airtight container
