ALMOND RICOTTA BLONDIE


- VERSION EN ESPAÑOL AL FINAL DE LA PÁGINA -

I wanted to make a dessert with ricotta that wasn’t any type of cheesecake so I came up with the idea inspired by the traditional Italian Almond Ricotta Cake, to make a healthier version of it! Although it’s not dairy free because of the ricotta cheese, this healthy blondie is gluten free and low carb! The combo of an almond loaf and a cheesecake all in one!

DIABETIC DIET TIP

Since the macronutrients for this healthy blondie are pretty good (although high in calories and fats which is not a bad thing as long as you eat the correct portion!), I would recommend it to have on the list of healthy cakes/blondies that any member of your family can enjoy!

Hope you can enjoy this healthy dessert as much as we did!! I would love to hear from you all!

Prep - 10 min
Bake - 40 minutes
Ready in - 10 minutes (let it cool on a rack after baking)
Yield - 4-6 servings (I cut into 6 pieces)
Duration - 1 week


If you cut the entire blondie in 6 BIG portions, each one will have:

395kcal
15.3gr
protein
21gr
net carbs
2.5gr fiber
10gr
sugar
27gr
fats

This healthy blondie is easy to make and the sugar content is quite low per piece, perfect for any occasion or time of the day, as long as your sugar levels are stable around 90 mg/dL. If you don’t want to have any sugar at all, substitute the coconut sugar for erythritol and the macronutrients will be the following:

356kcal
15.1gr
protein
11.5gr
net carbs
2.5gr fiber
1gr
sugar
27gr
fats


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup or 85gr of almond flour

  • 1/2 cup or 45gr oat flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

  • 1/2 cup or 50gr grass-fed butter or coconut oil

  • 1/2 cup or 60gr coconut sugar or erythritol

  • 15oz or 425gr whole milk ricotta cheese (preferably at room temperature)

  • 2 whole eggs (preferably at room temperature)

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds


STEPS

  1. Pre heat oven to 350F/175C. Line a square 8x8 inch/20x20cm mold with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Set aside.

  3. In another bowl, mix the eggs with ricotta cheese and add melted butter or coconut oil.

  4. Add the coconut sugar or erythritol and mix until fully incorporated.

  5. Fold in the dry ingredients to the wet and mix everything.

  6. Add the sliced almonds, mix and pour the batter into the mold.

  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. Let it cool in the mold and serve once cooled. The consistency will be very moist thanks to the ricotta cheese, see pictures above.

    * You can sprinkle powdered erythritol on top like I did!


* Store in an air tight container at room temperature or in the fridge or freezer.

🇪🇸 Spanish:

Este delicioso bizcocho de almendras y ricotta os encantará!!

No lleva gluten ni azúcares refinados y la combinación de sabor está deliciosa! Un combo entre bizcocho de almendras y pastel de queso!!

Los macronutrientes están bastante bien aunque cada porción salga un poco calórica y con alto contenido de grasas, lo cual no es malo si se come la cantidad que toca!

Si divides el blondie en 6 partes GRANDES las cantidades son las siguientes:

395kcal
15.3gr
proteína
21gr
carbs netos
2.5gr fibra
10gr
azúcar
27gr
grasas

Si quieres bajar el contenido de azúcar al mínimo entonces substituye el azúcar de coco por eritritol en la misma cantidad y los macronutrientes quedarán así:

356kcal
15.1gr
proteína
11.5gr
carbs netos
2.5gr fibra
1gr
azúcar
27gr
