Topped with some flaky salt, I promise you'‘ll love this recipe (Mine were still gooey when I pulled them out I was not patient enough)
Why You'll Love This Recipe
These brownies are not only indulgent but also packed with nutrients. Thanks to the almond butter and Greek yogurt, you're getting a protein boost, while the use of monk fruit sweetener and sugar-free maple syrup keeps the sugar content low. Plus, cocoa powder and Lily’s Stevia Chocolate Chips bring all the rich chocolatey flavor without the guilt. If you aren’t avoiding sugar and aren’t worried about a some extra calories feel free to swap for regular sweeteners/syrup.
The Ingredients Breakdown
Here's a detailed look at the ingredients and why they work so well together:
Almond Butter (1/2 cup): Adds a creamy texture, healthy fats, and a dose of protein.
Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt (1/3 cup): Keeps the brownies moist and boosts the protein content.
Eggs (2 large): Essential for binding the ingredients and adding a fluffy texture.
Sugar-Free Maple Syrup (1/4 cup): Adds a hint of sweetness with minimal calories and no added sugars.
Monk Fruit Sweetener (1/2 cup): A zero-calorie sweetener that doesn’t spike your blood sugar.
Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Adds depth to the flavor profile with minimal calories.
Cocoa Powder (1/3 cup): The star of the show for that rich, deep chocolate taste.
Baking Powder (1 tsp): Helps the brownies rise just right.
Lily's Stevia Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup): Adds melty chocolate chunks while keeping sugar low.
How to Make Your Almond Butter Brownies
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, and monk fruit sweetener to the wet mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in Lily's Stevia Chocolate Chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.
Tips for Perfect Brownies
Don’t overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense texture.
Use parchment paper: This helps with easy removal and keeps the brownies from sticking to the pan.
Let them cool: Allow the brownies to set fully for the best texture.
