I’m sorry, guys. I had no intention of posting another Paleo recipe this week but the cheesy, white floury bread I made yesterday totally failed. I think I must’ve burned the yeast or something because it just refused to rise. At all.
Gahhh.
So you get these Paleo Chocolate Chip Blondies! And I really don’t even feel that bad because they’re awesome. My husband had 7 of them last night. Yeah, that’s pretty much the entire pan.
And btw, how unfair is it that men can eat 7 blondies on top of meals and other snacks and not gain weight?
Anyyyway, we’re all sorts of iced/snowed in right now which is fun because I can stay in sweatpants all day and only go outside when the (idiot) husky opens the gate, lets herself out of the yard, and then makes me chase her around the neighborhood before finally making the circle and ending up back at our porch. But it’s not so fun because the kids and the husband are all driving me crazy.
If I have to hear, “HE WON’T GIVE ME A TURN!” one more time…
I don’t even know what I’ll do. But it won’t be pretty.
I’m going to have the blondie I hid from my husband for breakfast and then lock myself in my room and binge watch all the Madam Secretary episodes on the DVR.
You should make these even if you aren’t Paleo. They are really delicious and so full of coconut and chocolate chips – you will hardly even notice that the actual blondie part is made from almond flour instead of regular flour! I promise.

Paul and I are both trying to lose that extra holiday weight that we accidentally *cough* put on – he gets on the treadmill for a week, and bam, back to his pre-Christmas body. I, on the other hand….ggggrrr. It is unfair! You’re definitely selling me on the paleo. 7 of these is child’s play. Ha.
Laura @ Petite Allergy Treats says
This look and sound amazing! I appreciate all the extra protein front the almond flour too! Pinned.
Jordan @ Smile Sandwich says
I think I definitely want 7 of these! Keep the Paleo recipes coming … LOVE!
Kelley says
What is it with dogs getting out?! Mine gets out and I go to get him and instead of running to me he runs right back to the backyard. What?! Crazy thing making me go out in the rain/cold. Glad I’m not the only one. Ps.. I need these in my life!
Beth says
These are going to have to go in my oven sometime this week!!
Tonia from TheGunnySack says
Blondies are soooo amazing! I love your paleo version!
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides says
Yes, please. Of course, I saw almond flour and knew I didn’t have it, immediately thinking of substituting white flour. So pregnant, so not paleo.
And, for reasons I am unsure of, I will share that our idiot husky had his own escape yesterday. We accidentally left him in the yard while shoveling snow. When my husband came home at lunch, he noticed a husky down the street. Interesting. Didn’t know there were others in the area. Oh. Wait. It’s ours. As it turns out, instead of taking refuge in the screened-in porch, he busted through the screens and went gallivanting. Apparently in a forest because he was covered in burrs. Fun.

Huskies are the worst! The other day, mine stood at the end of the driveway and just stared at me. As soon as I started walking towards her, she took off. Drives me nuts!
Amy @ A Healthy Life For Me says
I can not wait to try this recipe. Sharing now!
Nancy [email protected] says

Christina @ Bake with Christina says
Yum these look so awesome! And I can’t believe that they’re paleo, that’s even more awesome!! :)
Amanda says
YUM!!! These are calling my name!
Julie | This Gal Cooks says
OMG. My brother and I drove my mom CRAZY with stuff like that. And me, it was always “he’s looking at me” or “he went near me” LOL!
I’d totally eat an entire pan of these blondies because I’d tell myself “they’re paleo, I can eat all of them.” ;)
kita says
Lady, you can have all the snow… I am soooo not digging it. :/ But, I am digging on the paleo recipes lately! These blondies kind of make me want to try it ;D
Ashlyn @ Belle of the Kitchen says
I would definitely eat 7 of these all by myself, too, probably more! And my hubby is the exact same way with not gaining weight! So so unfair! I hope y’all get some warmer temps headed your way soon! I’m an army wife as well, but we are fortunate enough to be out in Hawaii for now. Though I’d LOVE to go to Carson at some point, I hear it’s awesome! Even with the snow and ice. ;)
Lucy @ Bake Play Smile says
If this is what paleo eating is all about… I’m there!!! These look AMAZING!!
Chelsea @chelseasmessyapron says
Seriously though – how do they never gain weight eating a whole pan of something?! My husband always eats about 8 brownies when I make them and same thing – never gains a pound!! Also I love almond flour!! These look and sound amazing. And it sounds like you definitely deserve binge watching TV with your hidden leftover blondie, haha :)
Lauren | Wicked Spatula says
I LOVE blondies! I’ll definitely be making these soon!
Kim (Feed Me, Seymour) says
I’m not paleo but I am all for a healthy and delicious blondie recipe!
nicole @ I am a Honey Bee says
you gotta run the opposite way you want the dog to go, so they chase you. at least we wou ldhave to do with with our little dog growing up if she got out. So I’d have to run all over to get her to chase me and once she was hooked I’d run back into the yard and SLAM we’d shut the gate. dogs are dumb. ha!
I’d love to try this! I wonder if it would work the same with coconut flour??? I bought it to make your paleo waffles (‘natch!) and I want to use it with everythign since it smells so good.
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze says
Haha, your hubby had 7! Holy moly he must of been sick to his stomach. Sorry about your bread. I heart and hate yeast all at once! :) These look delicious and I am so happy you hid one so you can secretly eat it. Pinned!
Marissa says
I’d pick blondies over brownies most any day. Love these Amanda and can’t believe they’re Paleo!
Laura says
These look amazing! I’ve tried a ton of bean-based blondie recipes. They’re good but not great. I will definitely be trying this one this week! Thank you!
