Ingredients
-
1 cup runny almond butter (natural, no sugar added)
-
2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
-
½ cup raw cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
-
1 scoop Bethany's Pantry Digestive Support Protein (any flavor - this is a must as flour replacement!)
-
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
-
½ cup non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or coconut milk)
Optional Ingredients
-
Raw honey or pure maple syrup (for drizzling)
-
Your favorite ice cream or nice cream
-
Fresh berries
-
Chopped nuts
-
Coconut whipped cream
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the runny almond butter and eggs until well combined and smooth.
Add the cacao powder and Bethany's Pantry DSP to the wet ingredients. Mix until no dry streaks remain.
Sprinkle the baking soda evenly over the mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add the non-dairy milk, mixing until you have a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be like thick brownie batter.
Pour the batter into your prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs (don't overbake for that perfect fudgy texture!).
Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The brownie will continue to set as it cools.
Slice and serve warm with your choice of toppings - drizzle with honey to your desired sweetness level, add ice cream, or enjoy as is!
Recipe Note
Essential Ingredient: Bethany's Pantry DSP is crucial as a flour replacement - it creates the perfect texture while adding protein and gut-friendly benefits. Any flavor works beautifully!
Almond Butter Tip: Use runny, natural almond butter for best results. If your almond butter is thick, warm it slightly to make mixing easier.
Sweetness Control: This brownie is intentionally not overly sweet so you can customize it to your preference. Start with a light drizzle of honey and add more as desired.
Texture Perfection: Don't overbake! The center should be just set when done. It will continue cooking from residual heat and firm up as it cools.
Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat individual slices for 10-15 seconds in the microwave for that fresh-baked warmth.
Serving Suggestions: Delicious with vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, or simply drizzled with your favorite natural sweetener.
