No Bake Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Paleo Brownies (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Oil-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)
No Bake Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Paleo Brownies (V, GF): a 6-ingredient recipe for luxuriously rich no bake brownies packed with chocolate chips and ready in minutes! Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo, Dairy-Free.
Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup finely ground blanched almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup paleo-friendly vegan chocolate chips mini and regular
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup natural unsalted creamy almond butter
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2/3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, wax paper, or foil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Add almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Using a sturdy spatula, stir and fold together until well mixed, and no almond butter or flour patches remain.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Using the spatula, smooth into an even, tightly-packed layer. Slice into 16 bars—bars will be soft, but firm enough to slice. For a special treat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds; the brownies might be too soft to pick up, but can be eaten with a fork.
- Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
