Almond Butter Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ cup of coconut palm sugar
- ½ cup of “Enjoy Life” mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Line bottom of 8×8 dish with parchment paper
- Mix all ingredients except chocolate chunks until smooth
- Fold in chocolate chips and pour batter into pan
- Bake brownies until golden dark brown – about 25 mins
- Cool brownies for at least 10 mins before cutting
Notes
- Try to find roasted (not in soybean oil) and unsalted whole almonds.
- Blend almonds in food processor until creamy – about 5-10 minutes. No stirring required, just let it do its thing.
- I like to double the recipe and use a 13×9 dish.
- I like to freeze the mini chocolate chips in advance – almond butter is warm when fresh out of food processor.
- Brownies freeze nicely.
- Leftover almond butter is great with apples. Mix in a little honey and cinnamon.
