Fudgy Flourless Almond Butter Brownies

• portions: 16 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

1 cup creamy, natural almond butter (only almonds + salt as the ingredients)

½ cup packed brown sugar (or sub coconut sugar)

¼ cup pure maple syrup

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted and cooled (can also use melted butter or vegan butter)

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder (use a high-quality -- not Hershey’s)

¼ teaspoon baking soda

⅛ teaspoon salt

¼ cup chocolate chips, dairy free if desired

For the topping:

2 tablespoons chocolate chips, dairy free if desired

½ teaspoon coconut oil

Fancy sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and eggs until smooth and well combined. Next add melted coconut oil and mix again until smooth. Finally add in the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until well incorporated. Stir in ¼ cup chocolate chips. The batter should be THICK and that’s the way we want it.

Add the brownie batter to the prepared pan and evenly spread out using a rubber spatula or you may need to your hands to evenly push the batter towards the edges. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. It’s best to underbake these brownies. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20-30 minutes before removing or cutting; they will be super fudgy and you want them to completely set first. This will be a true testament of willpower :)

To top the brownies: add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth and melted. Drizzle over brownies, then top with fancy sea salt. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy! These brownies are delicious straight from the fridge. They’re fudgy and perfect if you want to store them in there.
