Low Carb Maple Walnut Blondies

Ingredients

Maple “Syrup"
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup powdered Swerve sweetener or other powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp maple extract
Blondies
• 1 1/3 cups chopped toasted walnuts, divided
• 2 cups almond flour
• Sweetener equivalent to 1/4 cup
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in the powdered sweetener and maple extract until well combined.
3. In a food processor, grind 1 cup of the walnuts. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and egg. Stir in about 3/4 of the maple “syrup” until well combined.
4. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the sides are set but the center is still a little soft.
5. Remove and drizzle with the remaining “syrup” and remaining walnuts. Let cool completely before lifting out by the parchment and cutting into squares.
