These low-carb and sugar-free Caramel White Chocolate Macadamia Blondies are a perfect afternoon treat. You won’t miss the waist-expanding sugar and white flour in my rich, buttery blondies. Trim Healthy Mamas know we can enjoy them any time of day and keep on trimming so go ahead and have them for breakfast.
White chocolate and macadamia nut are two of my favorite flavors in a cookie or blondie. It’s a classic and delicious combination.
But when there’s no room for sugar in your baking then your white chocolate options are somewhat limited.
Where To Get Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips.
You can make your own sugar-free white chocolate chips (see this recipe from Wonderfully Made and Dearly Loved). However, if that’s not your jam I’ve got good news for you!
There’s a new sugar-free baking chip brand out now called Bake Believe. It’s rolling out in select Wal-Mart stores across the country. Use their store locator and see if they’re in your area yet.
The THM groups on Facebook have been all abuzz over Bake Believe sugar free white chocolate chips (as well as the dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips). So, of course I had to check them out myself.
These sugar-free baking chips are plan-approved, which is great news! However, be aware that they do contain inulin. Inulin can cause tummy troubles for some people.
Most people, however, won’t have any issues. Just be sure to eat them wisely. For example, don’t sit and munch down an entire bag while watching a movie 😉
Note: I am not affiliated with Bake Believe and this post is solely inspired by my experience with their products. But if anyone from Bake Believe sees this post and wants to work with me I’d love to hear from you 😉

How To Make Low Carb Caramel White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies.
I used THM Baking Blend and Trim Healthy Naturals Caramel Natural Burst extract for this recipe. I’m also working on versions using a homemade baking blend as well as single ingredients instead of baking blends.
However, I didn’t want to wait to get this recipe up on the blog for you! It’s so good!
Feeling adventurous? Try a homemade baking blend recipe if you like. Just be aware that some DIY baking blend recipes are more “thirsty” than others. You may need to use less (or add more liquid if the mixture is too dry).
If you do try a DIY baking blend please come back and let us know how they turn out!
Give these a try if you need a homemade baking blend recipe:
Just a note…the mixture consistency should be like a thick cake batter. If your mixture is crumbly it’s too dry. Try adding a bit of almond milk or heavy cream (or even just water) to make it less dry.

How did you get the chips to not melt out in your blondies? In your picture of the cut blondie, you can actually see the discrete chips. I used these to make cookies and they totally disappeared, ie melted away, when baked. Thanks.
Dawn Yoder says
What I’ve learned from Bake Believe is that their chips melt at higher temps. After I pulled the dish out of the oven I pushed some chips into the top of them.
You still get the flavor of the chips though. Or you could try baking these at 325 (I plan on trying that soon). It will likely take longer.

Karen Odom says
do you use raw macadamia nuts?
Dawn Yoder says
The nuts I have are roasted.I haven’t tried raw ones though. If you do, let me know how they turn out!
Melissa says
Can I use less butter?
Dawn Yoder says
I haven’t tried it with less butter so I can’t say what the result would be. They might be more dry and crumbly with less butter. If you try it let me know how they turn out! I can’t eat them right now with the food sensitivities I’m working around!
