The sweetest, most tender low carb blondies you’ve ever had, with the deliciously rich flavor of browned butter and plenty of chocolate chips. And check out my review and giveaway of Sukrin USA low carb, gluten-free products!
If you’ve never tried browned butter, you need to run to your kitchen right now, plop a stick of butter in a pan and turn the heat to medium. Don’t walk away, don’t go anywhere, it doesn’t take very long and if you aren’t paying attention, you run the risk of burning the butter. Four or five minutes later, you have this amber-coloured liquid with funny little browned milk solids in the bottom. It may not look like much but the taste is out of this world and goes with just about everything you could think of. Fish, chicken, steak, vegetables…and, of course, desserts. Oh my heavens does it take dessert to the next level. Well, it takes everything to the next level, really. I don’t know how I lived life without browned butter. Certainly it could not have been a happy or satisfying life.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
Add it into any sweet recipe and you get a deep, nutty, almost caramel-like flavour. Cookies, blondies, cake, they can all get a boost from browned butter. These low carb blondies were more tender and rich than I think they’d be with regular butter. To enhance that flavour even further, I used half Sukrin Gold, a low carb brown sugar replacement. As you know, I favour Swerve as my sweetener of choice, but Sukrin USA asked if I would test out their products and also host a small giveaway for my readers. Since so many of you ask about different sweeteners, I feel strongly that I need to test them out myself. Sukrin Gold is mostly erythritol, with some tagatose, glycerol, malt extract (gluten-free) and sterol glycosides to give it the colour and flavour of brown sugar. I thought it worked very well in the blondies and I think it could be very useful in one’s arsenal of low carb tools.
Sukrin also carries two varieties of fiber syrups made from isomaltooligosaccharides, which are sweet-tasting pre-biotic fibers. I think these could be very useful sweeteners but I recommend them with reservations. For me, the jury is still out on whether or not they affect blood sugar levels. I am part of a number of online diabetes support groups and some members have indicated that isomalt syrup gives them a spike. I tested on myself a couple of times and had varied results, with mostly very little increase but one seeming spike (which could, admittedly, have been a fluke of my meter or other circumstances). At this point, I think I will use the syrups sparingly – I am excited to see what they can do for my recipes but think anyone with diabetes should test them carefully on themselves. Check out the Sukrin website for more information on Sukrin Fiber Syrup and Sukrin Fiber Syrup Gold.
One thing I was really impressed with from Sukrin were the bread mixes. Although I am inclined to make my own low carb bread from scratch most of the time, I think these are a really great option for a store-bought mix. Possibly the best low carb option for store-bought bread out there (please note that they are not grain-free). Sukrin USA also sells a number of other low carb products, and all in all, I’d give it a low carb thumbs up. Definitely worth checking out. And be sure to check out my Sukrin product giveaway below.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
- 1/4 cup Sukrin Gold or more Swerve and 2 tsp molasses
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
-
Place butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and and becomes a deep amber, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
-
Preheat oven to 325F and grease a 9x9 inch square pan (an 8x8 is acceptable but your blondies will take longer to cook).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweeteners, baking powder, and salt. Stir in egg, browned butter and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
-
Press dough evenly into prepared ban and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until just set and golden brown. Let cool and cut into squares.

Sukrin will send THREE winners a gift pack of Sukrin products, including the Sukrin Gold, the Fiber Syrup and the Chia Hemp Bread Mix. Open to US residents only.
Kara says
Yum! We have some of the Sukrin brown sugar but haven’t used it yet. This will definitely be our first trial. The syrups and mixes look interesting too — would love the chance to try them out.
Pat Baker says
I would love to try the chia hemp bread sounds delish!
Caroline J says
Those look amazing! I bet the fiber syrup would make some great protein bars too 🙂
Rachel says
Well first I will have to make these blondies, maybe some low carb brownies or chocolate chip cookies too!
Liza says
I’m excited to make these brownies! Would love to try the new products to!
Nicole D says
I’m going to try your Skillet Cookie with the Surkin Gold…Sounds great!
patricia says
I would like to make these Blondies, they look delicious
Carrie says
These Browned Butter Blondies look AMAZING…I would make these first when trying out the Surkin products!
Donna Hardin says
Your recipes are fabulous! Will have to give this a try. Crossing my fingers for give away!
Erin Ellis says
I would make these blondies. They look delish! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

Definitely the Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies…they look fab!
rachel says
I’ve never heard of this brand but would be willing to give them a try since there aren’t a lot of products (that taste good) that fit into my LCHF lifestyle. Thanks for featuring them!
Natalie R says
I recently switched to the Keto Diet and got everything I need to bake low carb & sugar free.. but apparently I missed these giveaway items!! If I won, I would definitely make these amazing looking bars 🙂
Lezlie says
I would love to try those mixes. Thanks for another great recipe! Your blog is my favorite!!!
Kat says
These look so moist and yummy.
Will try them soon.
I have a request.
Could you possibly post a conversion chart for sweeteners to sugar?
Thank you!
Marcia says
yummy – I need to get back on the low carb wagon – these may be just what I need to help me bridge from high carb goodies
Kat says
Oops, I should have said sugar to sweeteners.
stacy says
I just found out about the Sukrin products last week, on one of the FB pages. I’ll probably try the sweeteners, but I have my reservations about the syrups, too. I’d love to try making Quest-type bars, but don’t want to deal with the blood sugar spikes.
Carolyn says
I am still a little leery, as I said. I think it’s worth carefully testing them out by themselves (try some in your tea or coffee, with little else that could be raising your blood sugar). For me, several times it only raised my bs by a few points. But there was one where it went up by 40! So I just haven’t fully decided on them yet.
Linda says
Of course I’d make your blondie recipe. But I have a favorite cookie from my childhood that needs brown sugar or it wouldn’t be the same cookie. I’d love to use it to try to recreate a low carb, no sugar version.
Gretchen says
I know I am going to LOVE these !! Payday tomorrow and I am out of butter, but I would like to get everything I need for this. Wish I could buy this Sukrit locally but it is about time I put in online order anyway — out of coconut oil too 🙁
Jessica DeMay says
I would definitely make these blondies- yum!!
janet says
Yum! These look unbelieveable. I bet Sukrin would make great gingerbread!
Shertie Lee says
I think I need to do some midnight baking – these look so good I don’t think I can wait until this heat wave is over!
Melody Spence says
I look forward to trying out anything with chocolate chips and low carb. I will also look into these products as I am always looking into new things.
Minnie says
I would love to try the sukrin gold. This is the second delicious looking recipe that calls my name and calls for that ingredient. 🙂
Nicole E says
I have tried a low carb blondie recipe in the past, and it disappointed (probably because the sugary wheat filled ones are a favorite in my house!). I will have to try your version.
Alisa says
These sound like great products and the recipe sounds like a must-make for my husband’s upcoming birthday! Thanks!
Lisa says
Can’t wait to try these!
Jenny says
I love making baked goods for my diabetic fiancé. I’d use the crap out of these products!
Ale says
I’ll definitely try the molasses version of the recipe
Laura Kannard says
I have wondered about making a pecan pie with the SurkinUSA Products.
Christina says
I would love to try the Gold Syrup in recipes that require molasses.
Carol W says
Since I’m kind of new to the low carb train, I will stick with your Blondie recipe until I get the hang of swapping around sweeteners! It looks delicious.
Karen Jo says
Reading a lot about brown butter lately so would go to your recipe first!
Surkin is a brand I have not tried yet so perfect timing to try to get me to change?
Lisa says
I can’t wait to try Sukrim gold. I’ve wanted a brown sugar substitute.
Lori says
I would love to try the Sukrin Gold for a brown sugar replacement. Haven’t found one yet that I like for this low carb woe. Thanks for another awesome recipe! You rock!
juliendbq says
I LOVE anything with brown sugar; I even love brown sugar with brown sugar! Currently, I use molasses with erythritol, until of my discount sources start carrying it. This would be a nice way to cut the carbs even further!
Peggy Cole says
I would use the Sukrin brown sugar substitute in cookies and of course these brownies. Sounds like it would be useful in low carb quick breads too. Would love to try some of their products in my recipes!
Teresa says
There are so many recipes that call for brown sugar, it would be nice to have a product to use that is low carb. These brownies look awesome.
Mary says
Since my granddaughter has been diabetic since she was 18mos. I am always ready for new ideas and products to try. I will make cookies for her.
Kelly B says
I’ve been using Brown Sugar Twin as my brown sugar replacement for a while now. I’d love to try this new option. The bread mixes look interesting as well!
Amber H says
SO excited for the chance to win this!!!! These products sound so helpful for low carb “thriving” in the kitchen!! 🙂 Would love to give them a try and add them to my “tool kit”!
Jillian says
I would make these blondies for sure!
Lisa Thomas says
I would definitely try this, I’m so craving some chocolate chip cookies right now! I think these blondies would definitely hit the spot.
Mary Tse says
I will definitely make your blondie recipe.
Sheila says
I would love to try the browned butter chocolate chip blondies! The Sukrin sounds promising and would love to give it a try! Fingers crossed!
Jo says
Browned butter is a personal fave! These look fabulous, and I’m anxious to try.
Rebecca says
I have only tried the Sukrin gold and I love it! Planning on trying to make New Orleans style pralines with it!
Sandi says
I’ve been watching for a review from you, for the Sukrin products. I’ve seen reviews on other low carb blogs but I use your recipes for treats almost exclusively so I wanted to know what you think of them.
For some reason, it is hard to buy Swerve here, now. The stores don’t carry it anymore.
I’ve been using erythritol and stevia if I make a treat but I find the cooling sensation a bit of a deterrent. It’s much more pronounced in some recipes than others, to me. I am hoping the sensation won’t be as pronounced with the Sukrin Gold, maybe.
I’ll be travelling to the US soon so I think I will order some and give it a try. Your Browned Butter Blondies will be the first thing I try when I get back. Yum!!
P.S Thanks for sharing all your awesome recipes.
Carolyn says
Sandi, where are you located?
Sandi says
Just outside Kelowna B.C.
jo says
Sandy, do you know about Low Carb Grocery? They ship across Canada. But I think they also have a branch store in BC. Try searching for – all one word – the low carb grocery dot com. Every time i check they do have Swerve.
Sandi says
Yes, Jo, I do know about the Low Carb Grocery, but thanks. I think if I have to pay for shipping, I’m going to try the Sukrin this time. I’m excited about the brown sugar sub!
Carolyn says
Just what I was saying. 🙂
jo says
I’m jealous! Have a great trip!
Carolyn says
Well, you can always get Swerve through Low Carb Canada. It’s still my absolute favorite sweetener!
Sandi says
Thanks Carolyn.
Kate says
I would love to win the Sukrin products. The idea of chewy brownies and adding in some good prebiotics to my diet is fabulous!
Jamie McC says
I would love to try your products!! I’d use them to bake sugar free cakes or crumbles for sure!!
Jan says
I’d like to try their syrup as a substitute for corn syrup in one of Jenni’s Splendid Ice Cream recipes. I’ve been able to low carb everything but that.
jo says
I’d love to try several of the Sukrin products. Not finding in Canada yet, though…. But posting to see if any other of your Canadian readers have had some luck?
And Sukrin, if you’re reading: if you’re looking for a wide distribution in Canada, try Low Carb Grocery – several locations, ships nation wide…. I have no connections with them, it’s just where many people ’round here get their low carb fixes. Hopefully you don’t mind me posting that, Carolyn. If so, please delete.
Carolyn says
Totally okay! I am all for my peeps up north being able to purchase low carb ingredients.
marsha says
I’m totally getting hooked on these sukrin products. They obviously are showing great promise in baked goods. If only i had more to bake with
chari says
I would definitely have to try this recipe first!! Sounds and looks so good!
Antonia says
Funny, I just received my first order of sukrin products today. Only bought the regular sweetener though, and I made some candied nuts with it. They are great!
Esther R. says
I read your reveiw and it is pretty great Thanks. Your recipe looks awesome also.I love both reveiws yours and Soozes.
Dawn says
I’m very excited for a brown sugar substitute! I’m definitely going to try these blondies and maybe even some cookies with these new products 😉
KarenH says
I am just learning about Sukrin. would really like to try it.
Barbara says
I would love to try the Sukrin products, something with brown sugar like a good old fashioned chocolate chip or blondie mix, some protein bars as I miss my Special K bars and I’ll even give the bread a try to see if it comes anywhere close to real bread ! Carolyn, you always have such divine recipes !! <3
Jamie H says
I would definitely use this product in these blondies as well as some almond flour pecan shortbread cookies…..and any other cake and cookie recipe I could think of.
maria says
I am excited to try the syrup for making bars and pecan pie!. The fiber syrup seems to have some qualities, like corn syrup, that I haven’t been able to approximate with traditional low carb sweeteners.
marion summers says
Browned butter Blondies, or course.
Jolene says
OMG! Those blondies look wicked good!!! Can’t wait to try (but after we move!!). 🙂
KATHY says
Any substitute for the Almond flour? Daughter has a severe tree-nut allergy.
Carolyn says
Your best bet is sunflower seed flour but it will have a greenish-grey tinge.
Lisa L says
I would love to make pumpkin pie and hot chocolate chip cookies for the holidays! I am horrible sticking to low carb during that time of year and would love to be able to.
Jillian says
I would love to recreate my late Mother’s chocolate chip cookies. They require that wonderful brown sugar flavor and I haven’t eaten any in an awfully long time since I am doing a keto way of eating. I look forward to trying it!
Kate says
I’m not normally a blondie fan, but this post is too tempting to pass up!
Cheryl says
Well, I would definitely use it on these brownies first! they look awesome!
Tierney says
This recipe looks divine! I would try making these blondies with the Surkin products, or maybe some teacakes.
Michelle says
I’d have to try making these Blondies first… I haven’t had Blondies since childhood,and these look fantastic!
Jae says
I would make everything lol mostly things with brown sugar though as I hear its great replacing that
Nicole says
These look incredible! Definitely making these, thank you Carolyn!
Tami Holliday says
I loooooooooove blondies!!! Not a huge fan of chocolate, so blondies are right up my alley…and a brown sugar sub…I am in heaven!!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!
Maria Dillhunt says
After making your Homemade Chocolate Chips, I would use them in this incredible Blondie recipe.
If I can’t wait to see if I win. I may have to go get some Sukrin Gold right now. And while I’m at it I would probably buy the Milk Chocolate Bars and chop them up for chips in the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies.
Then, If I win, I’ll be stocked up for future recipes.. Yay!!
Chris says
My great grandmother passed down a blonde brownie recipe that is a family legend and that I miss terribly since T1D and celiac struck. This appears to be closest low carb recipe so far…can’t wait to try it!
Sharon B. says
I would definitely make the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies! Thanks for the recipe, Carolyn.
Lisa says
Would love to make the brown butter chocolate chip blondies!!
Michelle L. says
This looks delightful! Can’t wait to make these this weekend.
Pan says
I’d try Sukrin in this recipe, of course. 🙂 I’d also try it in your caramel recipe since I don’t use coconut sugar.
Christine Cunningham says
Would love to try making this blondie recipe or something similar with these featured products.. Looks amazing.
Alexis Decker says
Soon will make these yum!
Tory says
A good, lo carb brown ‘sugar’ would be a great boon! And this recipe is getting a trial right away, even before I can get hold of Sukrin… we’re heading to an island off the coast of Maine and need to bring all of our food with us. Blondies will be great travellers!
A question for you, Carolyn: I use erythritol very successfully, but as another poster mentioned, it’s better in some recipes than others… Is Swerve much different from erythritol in taste and the coolness factor? Would you consider the flavor to be interchangeable? Any feedback is much appreciated (as is all your work to help us all out on the low carb, good taste, quest). And the Sukrin products are a must to try!
Thanks! Tory
Carolyn says
I find Swerve to be much better than straight erythritol, with no coolness (some people still experience it, but I do not). It bakes better and it caramelizes better. It’s mostly erythritol as it is but the oligosaccharides really make it something better. I would never use straight erythritol anymore because I think it’s not as reliable.
Tory says
Thanks so much for the feedback, Carolyn! I’m baking tomorrow to leave for our island trip on Friday, so will scout about for some Swerve today. I know Whole Foods carries it, but as a Trader Joe’s devotee I rarely ‘cross over’. Looks like this will be worth it! Thanks again!!
Anne says
What woudn’t I make? All the paleo recipes that call for honey, maple syrup. Ice cream, breads, muffins, these bars! I am definitely interested in trying all their products.
Dana Jespersen says
I have to admit, I would probaby try this recipe first, then maybe try it in a gf banana muffin.
Sharon says
I want to experiment with some ice cream flavors I have in mind.
nicole says
Can’t wait to try these!
Amanda says
These look like the perfect treat for school lunches!! My kiddos would go crazy over it! This year the oldest has told me that kids have been asking for her lunch instead of their own! Thanks to all of you wonderful low carb/gluten free bloggers/chefs, my darling child isn’t feeling left out – but special!! I would love to try these products! I’ve heard such good things about them, and the more I look at what they offer it just proves that it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for low carb transformations! Thanks for all you do!
Carolyn says
So glad your daughter feels so good about her healthy school lunches!
Sue says
I would love to try this product. Thanks for the opportunity!
Kathy T says
I would make these blondies and the bread from bread mix first.
Joshua Hampton says
These blondies look dreamy. I’m really interested in how browned butter would taste in desserts. Time to experiment, then. Thanks for this.
Amy says
I will try this soon!
Carolyn Boutin says
I have been reading about the Suit in products. Have to try, although being diabetic am always concerned about spikes. But you know I LOVE your recipies Carolyn and these look like no exception. So if I decide to try without the Suit in his much more Swerve should I add along with the Molasses?
Carolyn says
Another 1/4 cup. The Sukrin Gold sweetener didn’t spike me, it’s mostly erythritol. I am more concerned about the syrups.
Tawni says
I’ve never heard of this brand – and based on your review, it sounds like it may need to be one of my future kitchen experiments. (And the browned butter blondies will be made this afternoon – I’ve been craving chocolate chip cookies, but not the effort to make them. These will be an excellent compromise!)
Jess says
I would definitely make your blondies! They look and sound AMAZING!
Brianne Geiger says
I just started THM so I am excited to get to use these products on the plan!!
-www.TheSentimentalMama.com
Donna says
I am going to make this but I think I’ll see if I can cut the recipe in half and make an individual skillet version.
Heidi says
I haven’t heard of this brand before but would love to win and try them all out. Thanks
Vicky says
I wonder if the fiber syrup is similar to what Quest bars use as their sweetener. I’m a huge fan of Quest bars so this would be something I’d love to experiment with!
Carolyn says
It is. I believe they both contain Isomalt syrup.
Holly says
I’d definitely make some chocolate chip cookies!
Linda says
I am hoping for chewy cookies. Just ordered some syrup!
Amber says
Everything sounds so wonderful!!
Jana says
This recipe looks delicious. Will definitely be trying it out!
Shannon says
I think I would try barbecue sauce with it. Being a native Kansas Citian, it hurts my soul not to have found a good red sauce, yet. So, I want to try my hand at my own creation, so that I can have that taste of home.
Cat Latuszek says
These blondies look amazeballs. Gotta make them.
Karla says
I would definitely make these Chocolate Chip goodies! Would love to try these new products. Thank you.
krickt says
I would love to make these blondies with the Sukrin. The isomalt thing is a little scary, but I’ll try anything once.
k
Jodie says
This recipe looks super yummy! I would love to make apple crisp with Sukrin products, my favorite fall treat
Ydanis DeStasio says
These blondies are on my ‘to do’ list! Yum!
Leah says
I would love to try Sukrin, they have a wide assortment of LC food.
Carla says
I would make these blondies, of course, and some bread with the Sukrin products. I think I might the blondies tonight.
Rebecca says
I love brownies and blondies so would have to try this recipe.
Sara says
Trying these tonight!
Carolyn says
Let me know what you think!
April says
Would love to try these products!
Amy says
I use brown butter all the time! The smell of it bubbling is intoxicating. 🙂 I also have used Sukrin and love it as an alternative to brown sugar.
kathy robinson says
I can’t wait to try these Sukrin products in some low carb recipes. 🙂
DJ says
I would make some caramel covered brownies.
Karen Barnett says
I can’t wait to try these!
Kathleen says
Wow! These look so good! I would, of course, make these Blondies! Yum!
I would love to try to make Browned Butter Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle Cookies too!
Lisa L. says
This looks so good! I can’t wait to make these blondies with the Sukrin products, to start. Then a cheesecake and definitely snickerdoodles for my girls!!
Ally says
We’re getting into that pumpkin time of year, so I think I’d adapt one of those!
Bobbie says
I am going to make those delicious looking brown butter blondies, YUM!
Amy DeMoss says
I would definitely make these blondies!
Melanie says
I would like to take another shot at making chocolate chip cookies. I think a brown sugar-like sweetener is really necessary.
Annemarie says
OMG! A brown sugar substitute that is mostly erythritol based??? SIGN ME UP! That and I always thought the best part of a chocolate chip cookie was the cookie without the chocolate chips..LOL. Thank you Carolyn again for broadening our horizons, and I will be making these blondies today for a BBQ I am going to!
Erica Kollman says
I would love to make these blondies! By the way, I made the low carb corn dog nuggets for my three kids, today…they ate them in one sitting.
Carolyn says
So glad they liked the nuggets!
Kristi Temple says
I love brown sugar. I usually use a teaspoon or 2 of yakon syrup in my recipes to mimic the flavor or I used Just Like Brown Sugar. How does this compare to Just Like Brown Sugar?
Carolyn says
No idea, I’ve never used it. Sorry!
Terry Schultz says
Carolyn, I just made these blondies and they are Amazing! I’ve never had a blondie amazingly. Hubby is Type 2 Diabetic and was wanting something sweet (of course he was). These are So good!!!
Amy says
I would like to try the bread mixes for busy days!
Peggy says
Hi Carolyn,
Once again you have hit it out of the park with these blondies, I was skeptical that the extra step of browning the butter would make much difference in the taste, but I was so surprised at how it added a delicious caramel, maple syrup like flavor to the bars. My whole family commented on how good they were. Looking forward to ordering and trying out some of the Sukrin products, this is the first I have heard of them. I used “just like sugar-brown sugar” in mine and added 1/3 cup of pecans. My husband said “you need to get those away from me before I eat them all”! Thanks so much for sharing your delicious recipe with us! Peggy
Carolyn says
It really does give it a wonderfully deep flavour!
Ann says
I’d love to make home made protein bars with these ingredients!
Karen says
I’ve never browned butter, sounds like this recipe will be a good opportunity to try. I’m interested in giving Surkrin a try.
Mary Anna says
I’ll make these blondies if I win the gift pack! They look delicious, Carolyn!
Wenda says
The browned butter blonde brownies sound delicious..I would use the Sukrin brown sugar in a lot of my lowcarb recipes.
I’ve made many of your recipes ..I would try the brown sugar in the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars ….I love them !!
Mary says
These products look very interesting. I would love to try the low carb brown sugar replacement. I’d love to have something to use in my recipies. Thanks!
Holly Ellerton says
I’m going to try these blondies for tomorrow’s bbque. Those new products look very interesting. I old love to win and be able to try them out. Thanks for the giveaway offer.
Stefanie says
I’d love to try all of their mixes, especially the chia bread!
Rachel says
The blondies were delicious, even picky boyfriend liked them. 10/10, will make again.
Barbara says
Would love to try this recipe with Sukrin.
Pam says
I can’t wait to try Sukrin products.
Diana Donofrio says
Hi Carolyn,
I just made these and the dough was very ‘greasy’ so I thought i did something wrong because i substituted the surkin gold with splenda so i added an extra 1/3 cup almond flour. They tasted good but a little crumbly so it would be helpful to let people know it will be a very greasy looking dough. Also, may I suggest you link Lily’s products to vitacost.com and not Amazon? I use amazon frequently but Lily’s products are much cheaper at vitacost. I get both the Lily’s chips and chocolate bars much cheaper and with free shipping over $49.
Carolyn says
My dough was not overly greasy so I suspect the Splenda is at play here.
Maryann says
I would love to make old fashioned spiced wafers with these sweeteners!!
Sarah says
I would first make the blondies! But these products look amazing and would be so excited to try them out!
Emily says
Um…the bondies! then I would try to master some chewy chocolate chip cookies, if I still needed to after that…
Brenda Hayes says
These Blondie’s look so great. May try them tomorrow.
Rachel H says
Blondies! OMG, must have Blondies!
Looking forward to trying the Sukrin products!
Bonnie says
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have waiting for you to make some these. My husband loves Blondie Brownies and we both love your desserts! He will be glad to finally have a pan of his favorites.
Carolyn Whalen says
Carolyn, Have you tried baking these or anything else with their Sukrin’s reduced fat almond flour? I know we don’t have to “count calories” on THM, however, sometimes the almond flour is a bit high in that area. i would love to hear your thoughts about it!
Carolyn says
I have some of it but I have yet to try baking with it. I know my regular almond flour so well. I think you won’t be able to replace cup for cup because it will be drier and you will need more moisture to offset that.
Michelle says
Hi Carolyn,
I would like to half the recipe and form the dough into cookies, would that work? or do you think I’m better off putting into a smaller baking pan? I’m single and don’t want to end up eating the whole batch.
Thank you for your help,
Michelle
Carolyn says
Sure, I think that would work.
Michelle says
I made them as cookies and they came out fine,the dough
made 12.
Stephanie Deal says
Oh yes!! I made these last night and my family loved them. . I thought they were perfect – my hubby thought they could have been a little sweeter (but what does he know). 🙂 I used the Sukrin product and it all came together perfectly. I did cut the bars into smaller bars, but then of course, I ate 2 of them. LOL. Thanks for another great recipe!!
Tamera Alexander says
Just made these yesterday. Oh my goodness! Delicious! Thanks for the recipe and for all you do for low carbers.
Carolyn says
So glad you liked them!
Theresa says
So, I made a mistake, but it turned out to be a happy one. I used the Sukrin Fibre SYRUP Gold instead of the brown sugar Sukrin. I wondered why the batter was so sticky and why it took so long to bake (twice the time and I had to cover it with some foil so it didn’t over-brown). I thought it was because it was an 8×8 pan, but no, it was the syrup.
But it turned out amazing! Really delicious. Now I can’t wait to try it properly.
Shereen De Jesus says
This was amazing! Didn’t have sukrin so used the additional swerve and molasses. Also, I used coarse sea salt and the resulting taste was similar to salted caramel. Another hit from Carolyn! Thank you again! Going to try the snickerdoodle skillet cookie now 🙂

Congo bars were one of my favorites when I was young. These are just as good, if not better! I love the butterscotch flavor the browned butter gives! This recipe is a keeper and sharer!
Very quick and easy to make. I added some chopped pecans, yummy!
Thank you so much!

Oh Holy Crap I just made these and they are so freaking out of this world!! I am in awe of the recipes you make Carolyn and these are right up there with incredible!! Tender, moist and oh that brown butter flavor is to die for!! Thank God I doubled these because my son and hubby just ate a huge piece and are already looking or more 😉

Carolyn,
I have always enjoyed your low carb baked goods. I do have a quick question. In place of the Sukrin, you have, “more Swerve with 2 tsp molasses.” How much Swerve? Is it 1/4 cup, same as the Sukrin?
Thanks! ?
Carolyn says
Yes, the same amount.

Absolutely LOVED these! From the taste to the texture, EVERYTHING was perfect! I subbed the sukrin with 1/4 cup of truvia & 1 tsp of agave. The texture is so chewy, I’m going to try making brownies using this recipe. I’m really suprised how well my blondies turned out. Thank you so much!
Taleisha A says
*2tsp agave*
Holly says
Do you use powdered or granulated swerve? Ive used the granulated several times and my treata come out gritty. Is there a tip for using the granulated so it doesnt do this?
Jennifer Farley says
I love blondies so much! These are amazing!

Hey Carolyn… Have you tried this recipe with the new Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement? I haven’t yet… Would like to hear your take on it…
Carolyn says
HAHAHAHA! Yes, I have! And that’s what the brown sugar sub was in the video…but at the time they hadn’t released it yet so I couldn’t share. 🙂 YES USE IT!
Melissa says
I made these babies tonight using the Swerve brown… Sooo good! I used my mother-in-law’s special brownie pan so I could have edge pieces all way round. Worked out beautifully! A definite do-over!
I’m a huge fan… Every recipe of your’s that I’ve tried has been perfect! Thanks for all your hard work! It is certainly appreciated by this Keto girl!
Carolyn says
Delighted to hear it!
Holly says
This may have been asked, but can powdered swerve be used?
Carolyn says
I think it should be okay.
