What I love about these blondies is that they are easier to prepare than cookies– since you just pour into a pan and bake– and they are nutritionally dense enough to actually leave you feeling satisfied. I’m pretty sure you couldn’t eat the whole pan in one sitting if you tried! (It would be tempting…) These decadent-tasting treats are loaded with healthy fats and fiber from the almond butter and chia seeds, and I love how they don’t leave me feeling bloated or exhausted with a sugar crash later.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
3 tablespoons water
1 cup creamy almond butter
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the ground chia seeds and water, and stir well until a gel-like texture starts to form. Add in the almond butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, and stir again until a thick batter is created. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
