Orange Chocolate Almond Butter Blondies

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the honey, vanilla, and egg and mix well again.

Microwave 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips to totally melt them. Stir the orange juice and orange zest into the melted chocolate chips. Microwave them again if the chocolate is starting to harden and clump.

Pour the almond butter, liquified chocolate mixture, and the rest of the chocolate chips into the bowl and fold gently into the batter. For a slightly marbled look, do not totally fold in the chocolate and almond butter.

Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 baking pan and bake at 350ºF for 40-45 minutes, until the color has deepened to a darker tan and it tests done. Garnish with orange zest if desired and enjoy warm with a glass of milk!
