The holiday season just screams tangerines, cinnamon, dates and nuts for me and I NEEDED to come up with a healthy dessert for the Christmas season. <\/p>\n

Salted Caramel Christmas Blondies: gluten-free, paleo, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I was tempted to call these Salted Caramel Blondies Santa Clause Blondies – or rather Saint Nicholas Blondies!
\nOn the night of December 5 (in some places, the evening of Dec. 6), in small communities in Austria and the Catholic regions of Germany, German Santa (St. Nicholas)  who resembles a bishop and always brings a rowdy friend ( Krampus) goes from house to house to bring small gifts to the children. These gifts always include tangerines, nuts and often also dates! So these flavors are for me, the first taste of Christmas.<\/p>\n

These Salted Caramel Almond Flour Blondies are perfect for Christmas morning because they feature all those festive Christmas flavors. <\/p>\n

Why these Salted Caramel Blondies are so good: <\/h2>\n

The base for the almond flour blondie recipe is almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, eggs and plenty of warming spices as well as some tangerine zest. If you would like to make a vegan almond flour blondie a flax egg should sub in well here!<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s no chocolate in these paleo salted caramel blondies! I\u2019m actually quite fine with that so I am sure you will be as well because we have something better – salted tangerine caramel. <\/p>\n

\"healthy<\/p>\n

Salted Coconut Caramel for the win<\/h2>\n

We are basically making vegan & dairy-free salted caramel sauce using coconut milk and coconut sugar. To that, we add plenty of tangerine zest, sea salt, and vanilla! Christmas central! <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a little bit of fresh tangerine juice in the blondies too for that \u201cextra\u201d we all crave and if you don’t stick to any diet, feel free to add a splash of Cointreau instead! OOPS! <\/p>\n

Let me tell you, there is nothing better than this tangerine caramel drizzled over a bowl of Greek yogurt so go ahead and double the amount! <\/p>\n
