For the Blondies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter-melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar substitute (depending on how sweet you like your desserts)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 eggs
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup collagen peptides
- 1/3 cup (100 g or 3.5 oz) mashed banana (one small banana)
- Optional - 1 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- Dash of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup powdered allulose (or 1/3 cup another powdered sweetener)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line 8 x 8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil (leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished blondies out), then spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
- For the batter, in a medium bowl mix together melted butter, sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Add the egg, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix until well combined, then add mashed banana and mix to combine.
- Next, add the flaxseed meal, almond flour, and collagen peptides and mix until combined and smooth. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using, reserving 1/4 cup for the topping. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the center has set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
- To make the frosting, in a medium saucepan melt the butter and continue cooking over medium heat until reaches a nice amber colour, stirring constantly(be careful not to burn it). Then, add heavy cream and a dash of salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and powdered allulose. Allow the mixture to cool until it is spreadable.
- Spread the brown butter frosting over the blondies. Allow frosting to set before slicing and serving.
