Why This Dish is Secretly Good for You

These bars are more than just a pretty face. Each ingredient brings something special to the table.

Oat flour gives you sustained energy and fiber. Almond butter adds healthy fats and protein to keep you full. The natural sweetness comes from maple syrup, which has minerals.

Even the sprinkles add a fun pop of color that boosts your mood. It’s a treat that truly loves you back.

My Favorite “Healthy Swap” Ingredients

I love finding simple swaps that boost nutrition without losing taste. This recipe is full of them.

We use oat flour instead of regular white flour. It’s gentler on your digestion. Almond butter steps in for processed oils.

It makes the bars wonderfully moist. Maple syrup replaces refined white sugar. This gives a richer, deeper sweetness you’ll adore. For another recipe that celebrates fresh, simple ingredients, try this chilled spring pea and mint with burrata.

The Full “Feel-Good” Ingredient List

Gathering these simple ingredients is the first step to kitchen joy. You might already have most of them!

• 1 ½ cups oat flour (make your own by blending rolled oats!)
• 1 cup creamy, natural almond butter
• ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles (look for natural colors if you can)

My Clean & Simple Cooking Method

This method is so easy and forgiving. You really can’t mess it up. Perfect for a quick baking session.

1. Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the almond butter and maple syrup until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix again.
3. Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mix. Stir until you have a thick, uniform batter.
4. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Save a small handful to sprinkle on top for extra color.
5. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Add the reserved sprinkles.
6. Bake for 22-25 minutes. The edges will be golden, and the center should look just set. Let it cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

How to Meal Prep This for the Week

These bars are a meal prep superstar. They make healthy snacking a no-brainer all week long.

Once completely cool, slice them into bars. I like to wrap each one individually in a bit of parchment paper.

Then, you can store them all in a large container. Keep them at room temperature for 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully for a month!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make these blondie bars nut-free?

Absolutely! You can swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter. It works perfectly and gives a similar texture. Just make sure it’s the runny, natural kind.

My batter seems very thick. Is that right?

Yes, that’s perfect! This blondie recipe makes a very thick, almost cookie-dough-like batter. That’s what gives us those wonderfully dense and chewy bars we love. Don’t add extra liquid.

Can I use a cake mix for this recipe?

This specific recipe is made from scratch for the best nutrition. But I know the cake mix hack is popular! For a quicker version, you could try a simple vanilla or yellow cake mix. Just add almond butter, an egg, and sprinkles. The texture will be different, but still tasty.

I hope this recipe brings a little springtime joy to your kitchen. It’s proof that healthy choices can be fun and absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a cozier, spiced dessert, you’ll love these cinnamon sugar blondies.
