Fudgy Almond Butter Brownies

Warning: these are dangerously good. So good that you may be tempted to eat the entire pan. Portion control needed. 😉

These are quite possibly the best brownies we’ve ever made. In fact, we served them to our family and friends over the weekend and they had no idea they were only 80 calories, flourless, and completely sugar free! Our friend Clay inspired us to use almond butter in our brownies a couple weeks ago and they came out better than we thought! The almond butter makes them so fudgy and rich – you’ll be able to fool all those picky eaters who won’t touch the “healthy” stuff. We hope these are as big of a hit in your family as they are in ours. This has become a new favorite for us! 🙂
