Just perfected these Cinnamon Vanilla Collagen Paleo Blondies, and I believe the vanilla collagen is a PERFECT fit! Don’t just take my word for it however, give this recipe a try and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. These bars are gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free!
These Paleo Blondies make a perfect treat to help get you through the afternoon slump. With 12 grams of heart-healthy fats per serving from the almond flour and cashew butter and high-quality protein per-serving from Equip Foods Vanilla Collagen, these bars will help keep your energy levels up.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Cup Cashew Butter
- 1 Cup Coconut Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Scoops Vanilla Collagen
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Nutiva Shortening (melted)
- 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line an 8×8 pyrex with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350.
- Combine cinnamon, sea salt, baking soda and almond flour and set aside.
- Cream together the cashew butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, collagen, eggs, and shortening.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Pour batter into the lined pyrex and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350.
- Remove from the oven when sides are browned.
- Place the bars on a cooling sheet by lifting the corners of the parchment paper and let sit until cooled.
- Outside should have a little crunch while the inside is nice and gooey.
**If you decide to cut into these and eat them warm with ice cream, I won’t judge!
**Great baked in additions would be stevia-sweetened chocolate chips or toasted pecans.
What can I substitute for the vanilla collagen? I have many food allergies, including mushrooms.
A regular collagen should work just fine then!
