Decadent Fudge Brownies {flourless}

This recipe makes a lot of brownies, and the full recipe calls for a 9 inch x 11 inch baking dish. You can easily reduce the ingredients in half and bake in a smaller dish. My photo shows the recipe cut in half and baked in an 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish.

I recommend you melt the chocolate in a bain marie, where you place the chocolate in a bowl above simmering hot water and slowly melt it.

To make it egg free, replace the 2 eggs with flaxseed eggs or chia seed eggs. To make flaxseed eggs: Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Let sit for 15 minutes to thicken.

For chia seed eggs, mix one tablespoon of chia seeds with 2 ½ tablespoons of water and let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken. The only drawback to using chia seeds is there will be little seeds left in the brownies after baking them.

Feel free to use another nut or seed butter in place of the almond butter. Use the creamy, unsalted version of that butter.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325° F.
On a slow-speed mix, or by hand, combine the almond butter, eggs, honey, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Mix until well blended.
Add the melted chocolate and blend into the batter with a spatula.
Add the cocoa powder and gently blend into the batter to avoid the development of a brown cloud of chocolate above your mixture.
Add the batter to a 9 inches by 12 inches baking dish and spread it with a flexible spatula to distribute the batter evenly. The mixture is gooey, which is great for those who like to lick the bowl.
Bake for 30 minutes and then check to see if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. If still gooey, bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Cool and enjoy! Cover and store at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for a several weeks.
