If you love brownies just as much as you love to eat healthy, then you’re in for a real treat with this recipe. These almond butter brownies are completely paleo-friendly and 100% delicious. They get their decadent chocolate flavor from raw cacao powder, and the use of almond butter gives them a delightfully sweet and nutty aftertaste with each and every bite. This is one recipe you won’t want to miss!

Almond Butter Might be the Best Butter

As good as grass fed butter is, there’s just something about nut butters that I can’t get enough of. Especially almond butter. It’s incredibly delicious, very filling, and absolutely loaded with great nutrients. It’s a great source of vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and other essential vitamins and minerals. (1) It’s also excellent for any individuals who have either dairy or peanut allergies as a terrific alternative to regular butter or peanut butter. Almonds also have the benefit of being an excellent source of healthy dietary fats, which can help to control blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, and improve your overall cardiovascular health.

How to Make the Perfect Almond Butter Brownies…Ever

To make the brownies, you’ll start by combining the almond butter with two eggs, honey, and vanilla extract. Once these ingredients have been mixed together, you’ll add in some baking soda and then the cacao powder. Not only does the cacao give these brownies their delicious chocolatey goodness, but it’s no slouch in the nutrition department either. It contains way more antioxidants than even blueberries, which are widely regarded for their antioxidant content. Raw organic cacao is also an excellent dairy-free source of calcium, iron, and magnesium. On top of all that, cacao has even been shown to have some benefits for cognitive functioning as well. (2)

Yes to Dark Chocolate

If you’d like to increase the amount of chocolate decadence in your brownies (and really, who wouldn’t want to) you can also optionally add in some dark chocolate chips as well. Not only do they make these brownies even more mouth watering, but they provide even more great nutritional benefits — dark chocolate is an excellent source of both healthy fats and antioxidants. Some of the compounds found in dark chocolate also provide some great benefits for your cardiovascular system, (3) so I would definitely recommend including them in with your brownies.
