What’s in These Fudgy Flourless Brownies?

You only need 9 ingredients for these healthy brownies! This recipe is not only simple but you probably have all these in your pantry right now. The fact that you can still enjoy brownies that are both gluten and dairy free means that anyone with allergies can bite into these beauties. To make brownies nut free try adding tahini or sunflower butter. 

9 Ingredients You’ll Need

Creamy, Natural Almond Butter: Look at the label for just dry roasted almonds and/or salt. It tastes so good with almond butter but you can used peanut butter, cashew butter or even hazelnut butter! You want it all natural so it's creamy and drippy to make these brownies extra fudgy. You may need to add extra oil if the nut butter is dry. 

Eggs: I have only made these with eggs but a flaxseed or chia substitute may work. 

Pure Maple Syrup: The best type of sweetness, as a little goes a long way!

Coconut Sugar: This helps the brownies get a nice fudgy texture and adds sweetness but you can sub brown sugar for the same result.

Avocado oil: Avocado oil is tasteless and has a high smoke point for high heating but you can use melted coconut oil or even butter. 

Chocolate Chips: You add what chocolate chips feels right. Semi sweet, dark chocolate chips, mini chips or add dairy free chocolate chips.

Baking Soda: Only needs a tiny bit.

Kosher Salt: To help balance the sweetness flavor and maybe some for sprinkling on top, like course sea salt.

These aren't your typical brownies! Look no further for the most fudgy, flourless, paleo, dairy and gluten free brownies that are made using creamy almond butter, pure maple syrup, coconut sugar and cacao powder! You won’t be able to have just one piece, as these will be a hit for any chocolate lover.  These have just the right amount of sweetness and adding some sea salt helps balance those flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy, natural almond butter

• 1/3 cup coconut sugar

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

• 2 eggs

• 2 -3 Tbsp avocado oil (more needed if nut butter is dry)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cacao powder

• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp kosher salt, unless using salted almond butter

• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, add almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and eggs. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

3. Next add the avocado oil and mix again until smooth.

4. In the same bowl add in the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until well incorporated. Stir in ¼ cup of the chocolate chips. Don’t worry as the batter will be extra thick! That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

5. Spread the brownie batter using a rubber spatula to evenly push the batter towards the edges. Bake for about 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. A few attached is fine too, as it will be gooey. For best results it is best to under bake the brownies.

6. Make sure to allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting. These brownies will be super fudgy. So they must be set and cooled before. Use that willpower!

7. Cut into 8 squares and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge! You may not have any leftovers though. You can enjoy it right from the fridge, as they are rich and fudgy.

Recipe Note

Optional Toppings:

2 tbsp of chocolate chips, added to top of brownies before going into oven.

Sea salt, for sprinkling on top after removing from oven.
