Recipe: Flourless Cashew Butter Brownies

by: Fit Foodie Finds

recipe image from remote site

These are the ultimate flourless brownies made with a cashew butter base, no refined sugar, no butter, and of course, no flour!

Ingredients

Wet

  • 1 cup creamy cashew butter, unsalted (if you’re using salted, omit additional salt from recipe)
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350ºF and spray a 9×9 inch cake pan with coconut oil cooking spray.
  2. Place wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined. Then, add dry ingredients to wet and mix until combined. Your batter should have a cookie dough consistency (it should be thick!).
  3. Transfer dough into a 9×9-inch pan and use your fingers or a spatula to evenly spread out onto the pan. If you notice that there is a lot of oil on the top of your dough, this is normal! Simply use a piece of paper towel to blot as much of it off it as possible.
