These soft, decadent, and delicious gluten free chocolate chip blondies are so easy baked on the sheet pan, and they are a healthier dessert without gluten, dairy, and processed sugar!
While I love me some brownies, I can never say no to really well made blondies with a perfect soft and chewy texture. I also love how versatile they are with a plainer base, and you can add in anything you want to add in flavors and textures. And because sweets don’t last too long in our house, I decided make a large batch of paleo blondies with chocolate chips as a sheet pan dessert!
The Best Chocolate Chip Blondie Recipe in a Sheet Pan
These grain free blondies with chocolate chips are seriously amazing. They are one of my favorite easy sheet pan desserts and are perfect for making a large batch quickly and easily. The texture gets soft and chewy, along with the yummy crunchy bites from the chocolate chips that are so addicting. If you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies (who isn’t?), I know you’ll love these gluten free chocolate chip blondies. I promise – they are the BEST chocolate chip blondie recipe!
Ingredients in These Sheet Pan Paleo Chocolate Chip Blondies
These paleo blondies contain simple and easy ingredients that are healthy and unprocessed:
- Almond flour: I recommend blanched almond flour for the best texture.
- Tapioca flour: You can substitute with arrowroot starch if that’s what you have on hand.
- Baking soda
- Almond butter: You can also use other nut butters like cashew butter or peanut butter. Keep in mind that peanut butter will add its flavor to the final product, but it’ll still be delicious! Also, peanut butter is a grain I would avoid it if you are making grain free and paleo chocolate chip blondies.
- Avocado oil: I like the texture of avocado oil in this gluten free blondie recipe, but ghee or coconut oil will also work.
- Maple syrup: Feel free to substitute with honey, if needed.
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips: If you are looking for dairy free and soy free chocolate chips, these are my favorite.
Notes About This Paleo Sheet Pan Dessert
- I have found that an 18×13 baking sheet works really well for this recipe. That’s a standard half sheet pan size that you’ll be able to find easily. If you have something that’s smaller or bigger, you may need to adjust the baking time since the thickness of the gluten free chocolate chip blondies will change.
- If you want to see the chocolate chips on top of the blondies when they are done, make sure to sprinkle a 1/4 cup on top halfway into baking. Otherwise, they’ll fall into the batter as it rises, and you won’t be able to see any when they are finished.
- To store these paleo chocolate chip blondies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or they’ll keep up to a week in the refrigerator!
Keeps Well in the Freezer
I already tested out popping these grain free blondies in the freezer and defrosting one square at a time and they still taste amazing. You can freeze these for up to 3 months.
For an even better flavor and texture, try toasting them in the oven for a few minutes after they are thawed! If you want to go full treat mode, you can even make some chocolate frosting to slather on top and make it into a sheet pan cake. These gluten free and paleo blondies are soft and fluffy enough to be pass as cake, and it’ll add another layer of decadence!

These blondies are so good! I did substitute Ghee in place of the avocado oil and I used honey in place of the maple syrup. They are delicious and I will definitely make them again. Thank you for the recipe!
So glad you liked it, Anne! And I’m happy to know that the substitutions worked out. 🙂
I’m glad I found that the honey worked. Maple syrup is $$$ and that’s alot in this recipe. Did you use equal amount of honey? I wonder if coconut sugar could be used
Hi Patty,
Maple syrup is a bit sweeter than honey so you can try to use 1 1/2 cup honey. I wouldn’t substitute it with a dry sweetener like coconut sugar since it will change the texture. Also, this is a sheet pan recipe, which means it makes a big batch. You can try halving the recipe and making it in a 8×8 pan to cut down on cost. Hope this helps!
I call this style lazy man style, and they’re one of my favorites!! Something about just plopping it all in one pan and being done…these look terrific!
I just bought a giant bottle of avocado oil at Costco..now I know what to use it for haha. Love that you used a baking sheet for this, I need to do that more often!
A-MAZ-ING! Those look truly decadent!
What a great recipe. I wonder if I can sub another flour mixture.. I don’t have tapioca..
I have all the other ingredients.. Maybe I’ll just try it.. Sure looks decadent!!!
Will let you know how it goes!
Oh man, I love blondies! And believe it or not, I’ve been searching for a recipe that ticks all my boxes. Found it!
These sound wonderful. Blondies are one of my faves!
Swoon! I wish I had a few of these right now. I could totally go for one of these beautiful chocolate chip blondies. I love how easy they are – made in the sheet pan. Brilliant idea!
These look so delicious I want to dive right in. Love how you adapted this recipe to make it paleo!
This dessert has all my fav ingredients!! Can’t wait to try 🙂
A delicious classic!! The sheet pan is perfect, less work and great for a crowd. I love bars, too. Thanks for this recipe!
These look so delicious! I know these wouldn’t last long in my house. Yum!
They are so beautiful ! I want to take a bite from my computer screen !
I bet these chocolate chip blondies would make for an amazing “cookie cake”… pinning to try soon!
Sheet pans for the win! These look absolutely incredible and so decadent!
Has anyone replaced tapioca with arrowroot? That’s all I have.
That should work just fine!
Any idea if coconut oil will work in the place of avocado oil?
I’ve never tried, but it should work!
Made these but reduced maple syrup to 3/4 cup, subbed almond butter for half peanut butter, half cashew butter. Didn’t put additional chocolate chips on top, but plenty sweetness for us. Would make again! Thanks for recipe!
Yay! Thanks for leaving a review!
These are dangerously delicious! Made it twice–once with arrowroot flour and the other with tapioca flour–and both turned out great. Initially, I thought the batch was quite large, but we had no trouble finishing it (it lasted all of 2 days)! Thanks for a great recipe!
Yes, so easy to go through quickly. So glad you enjoyed!!
This was a hit last night! The only thing I changed was the lazy man change, I mixed it all in one bowl instead of 2, everything what I left the same, super delicious! Week make again!
Yay! I love that it worked out with the lazy method. Definitely cuts down on time and dishes!
Delicious! These were a huge hit a few weeks ago and I’m making another batch tonight! I’m another person who made it the lazy man’s way in one bowl, everything else I did the same. Really really good!
Making these tonight, however I am adding a few extras to the batter: maple candied bacon bits & toasted pecans, in addition to your recipe’s chocolate chips. My grandkids & I decided that that would make them more unique for our neighborhood bake-off! Besides, who doesn’t love bacon & chocolate?!?!
Wow, that sounds amazing! I hope it turned out well!!
