Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it gives me all the cozy gingerbread flavor I crave without the heaviness of traditional baking. I like that the texture stays chewy rather than cakey, and I really enjoy how simple the process is. Everything mixes in one bowl, bakes fast, and makes enough bars to share or save for later.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups almond flour
2/3 cup brown sugar substitute
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon gelatin (optional)
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips

Directions

I begin by preheating the oven to 325°F and greasing an 8×8-inch metal baking pan. In a large bowl, I whisk together the almond flour, brown sugar substitute, cocoa powder, gelatin, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt until everything is evenly mixed and smooth.

I then stir in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms. I fold in most of the white chocolate chips, keeping a small amount aside. I spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and gently press the remaining chocolate chips on top.

I bake the blondies for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are puffed and set but still slightly soft in the center. I let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars so they hold together perfectly.

Servings And Timing

I cut these blondies into 16 bars. The prep time takes about 10 minutes, baking takes around 20 minutes, and the total time is approximately 30 minutes.

Variations

When I want a stronger spice flavor, I add a little extra ginger or cinnamon. I sometimes swap the white chocolate chips for sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different texture. If I skip the gelatin, the blondies are still delicious but slightly less chewy.

Storage/Reheating

I keep these blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, I refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them individually wrapped. When I want that fresh-baked texture again, I reheat a bar briefly in the microwave until warm and soft.

FAQs

Can I make these without gelatin?

I can leave it out with no problem, though I notice the blondies are a bit less chewy without it.

Can I use a different sweetener?

I prefer a brown-style sweetener because it enhances the gingerbread flavor, but I can substitute another granulated keto sweetener if needed.

Why is cocoa powder included?

I use cocoa powder mainly for color. It deepens the gingerbread look without making the blondies taste like chocolate.

Can I freeze these blondies?

I freeze them often. I wrap each bar tightly and thaw as needed, which works very well for me.

How do I know when they are done baking?

I remove them when they look puffed and set but still feel soft, since they continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion

These keto gingerbread blondies are one of my favorite low-carb desserts because they’re easy to make, full of warm spices, and incredibly satisfying. I love having a festive treat that fits my lifestyle while still tasting rich, chewy, and comforting.
