Almond Chocolate Blondies-Jillian Michaels

Almond-Chocolate Blondies
1 cup almond butter
2/3 cup honey (clover or orange blossom)
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup ground flaxseed
3/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup 70% cocoa mini chocolate chunks
Olive oil spray for the pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch
square glass baking dish with olive oil. In a
large bowl, place almond butter, honey,
coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk
together until well blended and smooth. In a
separate bowl, whisk together flour,
flaxseed, baking powder, and baking soda
until well mixed. Add dry ingredients to
almond butter mixture and stir just until
blended. Then stir in chocolate chunks.
Scrape the batter into prepared dish and
bake until browned around the edges and a
toothpick comes out with moist crumbs
clinging to it, about 35 minutes. Let cool
about 15 minutes before cutting.

Cut into 20 squares and serve. (Store at
room temperature an airtight container
for up to 3 days.)
