Store these coconut-almond blondies tightly sealed at room temperature for up to a week--they are even better after sitting a day or two, becoming more chewy and deeply flavored.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the blondies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of nuts: You can use all almonds, or you can mix in other nuts like walnuts, pecans, or pistachios.
  • Add a little spice: For a little extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the batter.
  • Don't overbake the blondies: The blondies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
