Almond Croissant Blondies
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with parchment paper.
2
Make the frangipane. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, almond extract, almond flour, and sugar. Stir until a pasty mixture forms.
3
Then, make the blondie batter. In a clean mixing bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
4
Then, add in the eggs and almond extract. Stir together.
5
Add in the gluten free flour and baking soda. Stir to combine.
6
Spread half of this mixture into the prepared pan.
7
Carefully spread the frangipane on top. Spread out into an even layer.
8
Then, add the remaining blondie batter on top.
9
Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top.
10
Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
11
Once the blondies have fully cooled, garnish with powdered sugar and carefully slice.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Toast the unsalted butter until it turns golden and nutty before mixing into your batter—this amplifies the almond croissant flavor and adds sophisticated depth that elevates the entire blondie.
- Toast Almonds for Maximum Flavor 🔆Lightly toast your sliced almonds and almond flour separately at 325°F for 5-7 minutes before adding to the batter to unlock their full aromatic potential and prevent a raw almond taste.
- Don't Overmix After Flour Addition ⚡Fold in the gluten-free flour gently just until combined—overmixing develops gluten in alternative flours, creating a dense, cake-like texture instead of the chewy, tender blondie you want.
- Underbake for Fudgy Centers 👌Remove your blondies from the oven when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly—residual heat will continue cooking them, giving you that signature croissant-inspired chewiness rather than a cakey bite.
- Layer Your Almonds Strategically 🎯Reserve half your sliced almonds to sprinkle on top halfway through baking so they toast perfectly and stay crispy on the surface while the ones mixed into the batter soften for textural contrast.
