These delicious almond flour brownies are oil-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and guilt-free 😉

These brownies are made with healthier ingredients such as maple syrup, almond flour and almond butter to increase the fiber, protein and satiety of these brownies. You won’t miss all the butter and sugar of regular brownies.

Ingredients

Flax egg – This is to replace the eggs in the recipe. A flax egg is really easy to make. Just combine 3 tablespoons warm water with 1 tablespoon flaxseed and wait 5 minutes or until it thickens up.

Almond butter – This adds fat and helps hold the brownies together while creating a delicious flavor without being too overpowering.

Maple syrup – Adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the brownies.

Almond milk – Adds liquid and a little bit of flavor without adding more sugar.

Almond flour – The base of the brownies that keep them gluten-free and low carb.

Cacao powder – Creates a rich chocolatey taste in the brownies.

Baking powder – This is what makes the brownies rise as they bake.

Vegan chocolate chips – You can’t have brownies without chocolate chips! Make sure to get vegan chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
