Lemon Blueberry Macadamia Flourless Blondies are so gooey and delicious! You would never know that they are good for you! Also gluten-free, paleo with a vegan option!
You know what they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m referring to the fact that my creativity lies in easy, healthy baked goods. Why waste energy and try to create a recipe that’s not in my niche? All y’all food bloggers know exactly what I’m talking about. Once in a while I have an itchin’ for creating savory recipes, but 98% of the time, my mind is in the land of sweets.
I guess it’s just how God made my brain, but I’m totally not complaining. I keep going back to making the same types of recipes, only with different flavor variations. For this particular recipe, I was reminiscing about these Gooey Flourless Cinnamon Toffee Blondies. Dreaming about the gooey, sweet texture made think of a different way to make something similar. Insert these Lemon Blueberry Macadamia Blondies.
The gooey-ness factor in these blondies? Spot on. The fresh lemon-blueberry flavor with the rich nuttiness of the macadamia butter? I would score it a perfect 10.
Seriously guys, near-perfect desserts don’t have to be hard to make. Making these blondies require just a little more effort than pressing an easy button. You don’t even need flour to make them! That was (deliciously) easy.
Let’s see what we’ve got in the mix:
macadamia butter
maple syrup
1 egg/flax egg
baking soda
lemon juice + zest
vanilla
fresh blueberries
Easy, peasy Lemon-squeezy.
