Almond Butter Brownies

This recipe comes from the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. The actual recipe is for peanut butter brownies but peanut butter just doesn't agree with our tummies so I decided to use almond butter instead. Plus, almonds are really good for you. They're a good source of protein and calcium, and they're high in monounsaturated fat (the "good" fat). And, for someone doing a grain free diet they're a good source of fiber. You can't lose! But enough about that, lets get to the good stuff. These are extremely easy to make, only requires 4 ingredients, and they're SUPER yummy!

 

Almond Butter Brownies
(Adapted from Breaking the Vicious Cycle's "Peanut Butter Brownies")

1 cup almond butter, no additives
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour into an 8x8 inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper, if you don't have parchment paper make sure to butter the dish well. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely and enjoy! Be prepared, these will go fast!
