Have you ever tasted a dessert for the first time and immediately fell in love with it? The texture and amount of sweetness is just spot on? That is exactly what happened when I tried these blondies for the first time.
They have the perfect amount of chewiness that makes them resemble a brownie, but they taste similar to your favorite white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. Can it get any better? I just don't think it can!
Keto blondies are so sweet and buttery they'll make you forget all about this being a Keto blondie recipe. Studded with sugar free white chocolate chips just adds an extra bit of decadence that will be a huge hit with everyone, especially the kiddos!
And if you're on the list to bring something sweet to your next get-together but you're really not wanting to not blow your diet, these blondies are not only sugar free, they're gluten free as well. This makes them the perfect low carb dessert.

How to Make Keto Blondies
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Add the butter, eggs, vanilla and sweetener in a mixing bowl and blend using a hand mixer.
In a separate bowl, add in the almond flour and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, just until combined, do not over mix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
Add the batter to an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper and spread evenly using an offset spatula.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
How do I Store Gluten Free Blondies?
You'll store them in an air-tight or sealed container for up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze Keto Blondies for up to several months. Make sure they're wrapped individually really well in plastic wrap or in parchment paper then placed in a zip lock bag.
To thaw precut slices, just take ever how many you want to thaw out of the freezer and set them on the kitchen counter for about 30 minutes.
Tips for Making Keto Blondies
- Avoid over baking them: Because these are soft and gooey, it can be a little difficult to tell when they are done. They will be softer to the touch than cake-like dessert bars. When done, the firmness should resemble that of brownies.
- Cool before cutting: Just about all almond flour baked goods tend to be a little more tender than traditionally baked desserts because almond flour doesn't contain gluten, which acts almost like a glue. That's okay though. Just allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing and they will stay together beautifully.
- Want to cut a little of the sweet?: I think most kids would tell you there is no such thing as something being too sweet and I tend to agree. But, if' you like things a little less sweet, you can still make these blondies by the recipe, but add a little flake sea salt right on top as you bring them out of the oven. Not only does it make them a little less sweeter, the sweet and salty combo is so good!
Are they Variations of this Keto Blondie Recipe?
Blondies get their name from the fact they are like brownies but without using cocoa, causing them to be "blond" in color.
But who says you can't change them up to give them your own personal twist. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
- You can use sugar free milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the white chocolate chips. If you like chocolate chip dessert bars, these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars are delish!
- Butterscotch chocolate chips adds a great twist! Mix some in with the white chocolate chips for a great combination of flavor.
- Macadamia nuts give them perfect crunch! But you can always use pecans or walnuts.
- These Keto blondies are plenty sweet enough, but if you want to add a topping this Keto Salted Caramel Sauce is ah-mazing on them.
- You can make "kitchen-sink" style blondies by adding a combination of chocolate chips, nuts and even toasted shredded coconut.
What is the Best Sweetener for White Chocolate Keto Blondies?
For the very best results, you'll use a combination of sweeteners. Gluten free blondies use a brown sugar substitute, like Besti Brown Monk Fruit/Allulose as well as a powdered sweetener blend.
Wholesome Yum's Besti Powdered Monk Fruit/Allulose is my absolute favorite blend to use! It has perfect texture and far exceeds anything else I've ever tried. Use code: KCC10 to save 10%.

Hi
I made these today with choc melts no white and I only had almond flour
And only added 1/2 the monk sweetener, I don’t really like too sweet, The choc bits have a crunchy texture?
Could you add coconut
Keto Cooking Christian
I am sure you could add a little flaked coconut.
Marge
Would stevia work? Instead of butter, unsweetened applesauce?
Keto Cooking Christian
I have not tried those type variations, so I cannot say for sure.
Alice
I found this recipe the other day and knew I needed to make them soon since I love macadamia white choclate cookies and now I'm on Keto. I made them today and they are so good!! Just enough sweetness. You're right, I think I could share with non-keto friends and they would love them too.
Keto Cooking Christian
I am so glad you enjoyed them. I think the texture is really what makes them! Thanks for the comment. 😊

What can be used as alternative to monk fruit sweetener
Keto Cooking Christian
You can use Swerve if you prefer.
Erin
Added some raspberry extract to the recipe—absolutely delicious!
Keto Cooking Christian
That is an interesting flavor to add. I bet that would be really tasty.

omg Made these today and they were wonderful! My brother loved it too and he doesn't follow the keto diet! texture is close to regular Blondies, just a bit more tender. I used a combo of macadamia and pecan, white chocolate and dark chocolate and sprinkles salt as suggested. This a a great recipe. Thank you!
Keto Cooking Christian
I am so excited to see how much you loved them. Thank you for sharing!
Astrid

Keto Cooking Christian
Awesome, I'm glad you loved it!
Stacey
Could I use Swerve Powdered and Swerve Brown and get the same results? Thank you!
Keto Cooking Christian
The allulose blend helps to gives these blondies a chewy texture, but you certainly can use those sugar substitutes.
Suzy J
