Delicious Nutty Golden Blondies
It can be difficult to find healthy baking recipes that kids will love too. So if you’re looking for a delicious recipe that isn’t filled with sugar, bake up a batch of these Nutty Golden Blondies.
Desserts are notoriously high in sugar and fat, making them less than ideal for your young children. To encourage healthier eating, I always try to make the recipes I bake taste as delicious as possible so that my children will keep coming back for more.
Sweet potatoes are an excellent ingredient for babies and kids. They are loaded with multivitamins, beta carotene, fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and minerals. In addition, their naturally sweet flavor and incredibly moist, creamy texture make them extra delicious.
The nuttiness of these scrumptious blondies comes from coconut flour, almond milk, and chopped nuts topping. No coconut oil or olive oil is required. A fun and filling recipe to try for homemade kids’ dessert!
This recipe also uses a lot of alternatives to usual baking ingredients. For example, Agave syrup replaces maple syrup, and alternative flours (coconut flour) substitute wheat flour. The lack of whole grains, old-fashioned oats, and wheat makes it a healthier, gluten-free option than many baked goods without sacrificing any sweetness.
This is one of the best free recipes you will find on the internet sheerly because of the health and taste factors. With children, it is important to disguise the healthy goodness of their favorite treats so that they will be encouraged to eat them regularly, and you won’t have to worry about them intaking massive amounts of sugar.
These gluten-free muffins are a treat for the whole family and one of the best healthy baking recipes I’ve ever encountered. Let’s see how they’re made!

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
· Preheat the oven at 400° F.
· Rinse the sweet potatoes thoroughly, pat dry, and poke them with a fork 5-6 times.
· Place the potatoes on a baking tray that you lined with parchment paper.
· Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes at 400° F till they are soft like butter.
· After removing the tray from the oven, let it cool for 10-15 minutes, remove the skin, and remove the flesh. Keep aside.
Cook the kid-friendly recipe
· Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking pan (9×13 inches) with a parchment sheet.
· Now, transfer the baked potato flesh into a food processor.
· Add the agave syrup, sunflower seed butter (or almond butter or peanut butter), coconut flour, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, & salt. Pulse for a few seconds or until combined.
· Now, remove the blade and fold a tablespoon of almond milk (or other nut butter) into the batter. Continue folding and adding a tablespoon of almond milk till the batter is thick, sticky, and roughly crumbly. (Be careful not to add all at once, or else the batter will become soggy).
· Transfer the batter onto the lined baking pan. Smooth out the top, and sprinkle the chopped nuts (or coconut flakes) evenly on top.
· Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350° F.
Once baked, let the nutty golden blondie cool on the kitchen top for 20 minutes. Then, cut them into squares and enjoy!

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Will these “Healthy Recipes” help me lose weight?
Eating a healthy diet is important for your body and can help you maintain or lose weight. Please talk to your healthcare provider about your health goals.
Is Erythritol a healthier sugar substitute than honey?
Erythritol is one of the healthiest sugar alcohols because it’s calorie-free, doesn’t raise blood sugar levels, and causes less digestive upset than other sweeteners.
Can AP flour be substituted for coconut flour or almond flour?
Substitute coconut flour for all-purpose flour with a 1 cup of ap flour conversion ratio to 1/4 cup of coconut flour.
It takes 3 cups of almond flour to equal 1 cup of coconut flour. This helps mimic traditional recipes without sacrificing texture and flavor while cutting out unnecessary carbohydrates from your diet!
