These easy almond butter brownies are a unique twist on the traditional brownie, using healthier ingredients. They\u2019re vegan and gluten-free, but just as fudgy and chewy as the traditional recipe!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love baking with almond butter, you\u2019ll also want to try these almond butter cookies<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We're getting a little fancy with our dessert today! See the drizzle of chocolate and those chopped walnuts? Might look like a million bucks, but have no fear, these easy almond butter brownies are just that\u2026EASY! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We're talking healthy, gooey, fudgy almond butter brownies that just so happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and<\/em> refined sugar-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, they\u2019ve got a lot<\/em> going for them. They\u2019re a twist on my gluten-free vegan brownies<\/a>, but made with almond butter for a boost of protein and nutty flavor. (The almond butter actually replaces the dairy butter used in traditional brownies!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Replace Eggs in Brownies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eggs are one of the key ingredients for chewy, fudgy brownies, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get that irresistible texture without them. I use flax eggs in these brownies instead of chicken eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you combine ground flax seeds with a small amount of water, the mixture gets a gel-like consistency, a little bit like egg whites. While you can\u2019t scramble or poach this mixture, you can<\/em> bake with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of other vegan egg substitutes<\/a> that you can use in your baking, but I\u2019ve tested this recipe with flax eggs and I know it works! If you try something else, I can\u2019t say for sure what the results will be, so I recommend sticking with the flax eggs for super fudgy almond butter brownies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
