Gluten Free Nut Butter Brownies
Confession time: who else can’t resist the allure of chocolate? Especially when it’s full of rich, earthy flavors with just a hint of fruity notes. It’s not just a treat; it’s my go-to indulgence. And here's the best part: cacao, the heart of dark chocolate, is loaded with goodies like antioxidants, magnesium, and iron. It’s a daily mood booster that helps me bounce back from tough workouts and everyday stress.
Now, the recipe: black bean brownies. Don't fret - you won't taste the beans, just blend well. 🙂 Since we don't use flour, these brownies are gluten-free and pack more fiber and protein than a typical brownie. And the game-changer? A finishing swirl of our mixed nut butter, "The High Bar", featuring a blend of almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Ready to indulge?
