Thick and fudgy almond butter brownies

If you do not like soft and extra fudgy brownies, you need to stay far away from these almond butter brownies.

They are squares of pure chocolate bliss, so sinfully rich and velvety smooth.

You’ll sit there reading the recipe and think to yourself, “No flour and only fifteen minutes of baking time?! There is absolutely no way these brownies could work!”

Oh but not only do they work, they work like chocolate magic… and they are completely oil free!

Dark chocolate flourless brownies

This recipe calls for oats or almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour.

And many of you have been asking to see more refined sugar free recipes on the blog.

So hopefully you will be happy to know that these almond butter brownies use maple syrup or honey. They can be made without any refined sugar whatsoever.

I played around with my recipe for Brownie Batter Bars to make them free of refined sugar and was so excited when they worked!

I sent the recipe to my mom back in Texas, and she kept texting me as she was making them:

Are you sure this recipe will work?

It seems to have a lot of liquid ingredients…

Did you forget to list flour in the ingredients?

Are you sure it’s just fifteen minutes in the oven?

Then, after she actually made the brownies:

Katie, these are so good!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies that can be made in under 20 minutes and are secretly full of wholesome ingredients you can keep on hand for any time a chocolate craving hits.

What more could you possibly ask for?!

Ingredients

6 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup almond butter or allergy friendly sub
2/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey (or try these Keto Brownies)
1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
optional chocolate chips as desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper or grease well, and set aside. Process the oats in a food processor or blender until very fine, then stir all ingredients together until smooth. (If you use a very dry almond butter, you may need to add 2 tbsp milk of choice for a thinner batter.) Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula or another sheet of parchment. It will look thin, but the batter will rise in the oven. If desired, press some chocolate chips into the top. Bake 15 minutes on the center rack – they should look underdone when you take them out. Let them sit at least a 1/2 hour if you want them extra gooey, or overnight for the perfect firm-yet-soft brownies. The flavor is sweeter and richer the next day if you can wait to try them!
