Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1¾ cup almond butter
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons melted ghee
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup all-fruit black currant jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Beat the almond butter with the honey in a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until smooth.
- Add the melted ghee, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt, and beat until just incorporated. Add the eggs and baking soda, and beat again until smooth.
- Transfer the batter to the baking pan, using a spatula to spread the batter out so that it evenly covers the bottom of the pan.
- Use a spoon to place dollops of jam across the top of the batter. Swirl the jam into the batter by dragging a butter knife across the pan, forming stripes in one direction and then the other.
- Bake until just set, 40-45 minutes, being careful not to over bake. Cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to life out the blondies, cut into squares an serve.
