Almond butter makes a great flourless brownie and gives it a fudgy texture that is delightfully rich.
This is one of my very first attempts at gluten free baking so I thought that it would be time to revisit it. Many years ago I used honey which made the brownie very moist but now I turned to xylitol for the sweetener. The brownie is still fudge like, especially the next day.
HOW TO MAKE ALMOND BUTTER BROWNIES
I make my own almond butter as it's easy and cheaper. You could make this brownie recipe with another nut butter as well. I sometimes use a mix of almond and cashew nut butter. Both butters are easy to make if you have a food processor and a lot cheaper than buying it in a jar from your health store.
I had a play around with these using salted almonds to make the almond butter and used a dash of coffee in the mixture. They made a nice slightly salty and coffee brownie treat. Feel free to play around with the flavours of the brownies too!

I make pecan butter and wanted to see if that could be substituted for almond butter?
Angela Coleby
Absolutely! Any nut butter would work.
Charles
I'm confused whether I'm supposed to use baking soda or baking powder. The ingredients list one of them and the directions list the other.
Angela Coleby
It should be baking powder. I'll update the recipe card. Thanks for letting me know.
Ayesha
Hi! These brownies sound delicious!! What can I use instead of xylitol? I read the part about the honey; how much would I need to use? Thanks for a great recipe and for all the guidance. Take care!
Angela Coleby
I'd leave out the honey as that was in the very first draft of the recipe. For the sweetener you could use erythritol or monkfruit. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Kitty
in the printed recipe I can't see where the eggs go? thanks!
Angela Coleby
I've updated the recipe.
Arnold
Can this be made using an artificial sweetener, if so how much?
Divalicious
Hi, I would think so but would keep it to about a cup. You might want to add an extra egg too, to keep it moist as the honey makes this recipe lovely and gooey!
Arnold
Thank you, I'll report back the results
