This is one of my most popular recipes! I can’t think of anything else I make that SO many people have tried (and loved). I’ve brought it to pot-lucks, gathering, holiday parties, given it as gifts and even shipped in the mail cross-country!
I knew this was a hit when my father-in-law (a true meat-and-potatoes guy) raved about them!
This recipe is that it’s easy and fast; you just toss some ingredients in a bowl and bake! It really satisfies that decadent “brownie” craving, since the almond butter makes them SO rich and moist!
It’s also way healthier than regular brownies! I love it for dessert, but it also makes for a delicious after-school treat.
Almonds are high in fiber, protein, vitamin E and healthy unsaturated fats. The coconut sugar makes them low-glycemic too!
I’m sharing this recipe today in honor of National Brownie Day! Post in the comments below, I’d love to hear what you think! 🙂
Almond Butter Brownies (Vegan, Gluten- and Dairy-Free)

- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp organic vanilla extract

- Grease small Pyrex dish (8×8 or 9×9), or line with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips

- Bake until golden dark brown and a toothpick comes out clean – about 22-25 mins
- Cool at least 10 mins before cutting (if you can wait that long!)
- ENJOY!
I just grabbed this recipe down at Cardio barre SM after Gabby’s class. I want to make them for myself and the hub on v-day this weekend. Question: Is there any flour of any kind in this recipe? I don’t see it listed and I’m wondering what makes up the dough. The picture looks so good…can’t wait to make them! 😀
Love CBSM & Gabby!
This is a flourless recipe – the almond butter makes up the dough. I actually just made a batch for my dinner guests tonight! 🙂
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
PS – I usually sprinkle chocolate chips on top before I bake it, but I love chocolate!
Thanks for your speedy reply! Can’t wait to try them and report back! <3
I’m not easily impressed but you’ve done it with that posting.
OMGEEEE!! These brownies are outrageously good!! seriously. I made them for my hubby’s birthday today….supposed to take them to my mom’s house for dinner tonight, but there are already 3 missing. Hubby & I agree that these are the best brownies we’ve ever had. We’ve been vegan for many many years and I’ve tried tons of recipes…this is the best! Yummmmmmmm!! <3
Thank you SO much! I am thrilled beyond belief you enjoyed them and honored by that glowing review! 🙂
Had your almond butter brownies tonight and they are AMAZING. My husband couldn’t believe they were vegan and dairy free (and he’s very picky!!). I would love to make these for my son’s class!
