Why Keto Strawberry Blondies?

Traditional blondies are rich, buttery, and sweet, often loaded with sugar and carbs. Our keto version swaps out the high-carb ingredients for low-carb alternatives, ensuring you can indulge without guilt. Fresh strawberries add a burst of natural sweetness and a touch of tartness, perfectly complementing the rich, buttery base.

Ingredients to make Keto Strawberry Blondies

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

How to make Keto Strawberry Blondies

Step 1: Prepare Strawberries

Chop the berries finely: You don’t want big chunks of berry in these bars as it makes them harder to cut. And chopping them finely allows for better distribution throughout the blondies.

Step 2: Make the Blondie Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and erythritol until well combined.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the strawberries into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Strawberry Blondies

• Fresh vs. Frozen Strawberries**: Fresh strawberries are best for this recipe. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
• Sweetener Choices**: Erythritol is a great option, but you can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia. Adjust the quantity to taste.
• Storage**: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
