Rich, gooey, dark, chocolatey almond butter brownies!
Thick and fudgy almond butter brownies
If you do not like soft and extra fudgy brownies, you need to stay far away from these almond butter brownies.
They are squares of pure chocolate bliss, so sinfully rich and velvety smooth.
You’ll sit there reading the recipe and think to yourself, “No flour and only fifteen minutes of baking time?! There is absolutely no way these brownies could work!”
Oh but not only do they work, they work like chocolate magic… and they are completely oil free!

Dark chocolate flourless brownies
This recipe calls for oats or almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour.
And many of you have been asking to see more refined sugar free recipes on the blog.
So hopefully you will be happy to know that these almond butter brownies use maple syrup or honey. They can be made without any refined sugar whatsoever.
I played around with my recipe for Brownie Batter Bars to make them free of refined sugar and was so excited when they worked!
I sent the recipe to my mom back in Texas, and she kept texting me as she was making them:
Are you sure this recipe will work?
It seems to have a lot of liquid ingredients…
Did you forget to list flour in the ingredients?
Are you sure it’s just fifteen minutes in the oven?
Then, after she actually made the brownies:
Katie, these are so good!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies that can be made in under 20 minutes and are secretly full of wholesome ingredients you can keep on hand for any time a chocolate craving hits.

Almond Butter Brownies
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 cup almond butter or allergy friendly sub
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey (or try these Keto Brownies)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- optional chocolate chips as desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper or grease well, and set aside. Process the oats in a food processor or blender until very fine, then stir all ingredients together until smooth. (If you use a very dry almond butter, you may need to add 2 tbsp milk of choice for a thinner batter.) Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula or another sheet of parchment. It will look thin, but the batter will rise in the oven. If desired, press some chocolate chips into the top. Bake 15 minutes on the center rack – they should look underdone when you take them out. Let them sit at least a 1/2 hour if you want them extra gooey, or overnight for the perfect firm-yet-soft brownies. The flavor is sweeter and richer the next day if you can wait to try them!View Nutrition Facts

Hi,
Anyone tried this recipe with baking powder instead of soda? Thanks.
I plan to try baking powder because they didn’t rise very much with baking soda.

Hi Katie
I made the brownies this morning and had one after lunch. I Loved them ! I had everything on hand to make them.The recipe was quick and easy. And brownies are my favorite dessert. Next time I may add a few walnuts to the batter. Can I eat them all myself or do I have to share with my family ? Lol. Make these brownies people !Thank you Katie
Thank you so much for making them!
Wow!! So impressed. Everything you promised. Used all ingredients and baked exactly to the recipe. Perfection! Gooey, rich and decadent. Would never think these were so relatively healthy.
Best brownie recipe I’ve made to date. THANK YOU!!
I rarely have sugar, so reducing the maple syrup by 2 TBS was just right for me.
Heading to the kitchen to make my second batch…😜🤤😍
I’ve made and enjoyed plenty of healthy brownie recipes, but this is the first time I’ve had a truly *chewy* healthy brownie! Thank you! I made modifications- maybe your version is better, but I thought I’d share what I did, with no assumption it was an improvement. I used baking powder instead of baking soda, increased the cocoa powder to 40 grams (1/2 c) and used Dutch process cocoa, used only 20 grams of oat flour (1/4 c oats), used 1/2 c + 2 T of maple syrup, and added 1 t vanilla. This recipe made my chewy brownie loving heart happy!
I can’t stop eating the batter!! I made a double batch and have half in the oven. I haven’t pulled them out yet but had to go ahead and leave a positive review because the batter is so so tasty. I could see it as a great party dip served with apple slices and pretzel chips.
Crazy question… Ever try to make these keto by using almond flour instead of oats? Hard to find this kind of recipe in keto! Thanks!
