I love these Healthier White Chocolate Cranberry Blondies with orange zest. The cranberry, chocolate, and orange flavor make these perfect for winter, but honestly, I make them all year long.

These are naturally gluten-free. You can use any nut butter you like, I usually use peanut butter.

Technically, blondies are a dessert. Since these are made with nut butter and almond flour, they are healthier than normal blondies, so I eat them all the time: breakfast, snacks, and dessert!
