This Flourless Brownie recipe may be my favorite brownie recipe ever! I love chocolate desserts, so that says a lot about how delicious they are. I thought these gluten-free brownies would be the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert because they’re rich and delicious, but lighter than most brownie recipes. As much as I love holiday baking, I do try to make recipes that are wholesome, too, like these Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The base of these gluten-free brownies is almond butter instead of flour, which adds extra protein and gives them such a nice fudgy texture. They’re also sweetened with honey too! This recipe only takes 5 minutes to prep, so it’s perfect for weeknight dinners. It’s also decadent enough for date night or any special occasion.

Ingredients You’ll Need

All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Small bowls of pre-measured ingredients.

Instructions To Make This Recipe

Mix the almond butter and brownie batter:

Before you begin, pre-heat your oven to 325°F. Then, grease a 9×9 baking pan with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil, and set aside.
Pour the almond butter into a large bowl and mix it well with a hand blender or spatula until it’s smooth.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the almond butter, except for the chocolate chips.

What To Serve with Flourless Brownies

Date night dinner: What date night dinner is complete without dessert? Decadent flourless brownies would be the perfect pairing for any of these Date Night dinner ideas.

Ice cream: I can’t resist brownies a la mode, especially when they’re still warm from the oven. You can even make your own ice cream to go with it! My blender raspberry ice cream or dairy-free strawberry ice cream are both super easy and delicious.

Fresh fruit: When I want something on the lighter side, I’ll serve brownies with fresh berries or a quick and easy fruit salad.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325˚F.
Grease a 9 x9 baking pan with cooking spray, butter or coconut oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, pour almond butter and mix well with a hand blender or spatula until smooth.
Add all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips and mix well to combine.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 30mins or until the brownies are cooked through.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Bring cold ingredients, such as eggs, to room temperature before mixing to combine. This helps them mix better into the batter.
You can sift the cocoa powder beforehand if it’s lumpy.
Feel free to change the chocolate chips to your favorite chips such as white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or dark swirled chips.
Be careful not to over-mix the batter, as it’ll lead to a dense and dry brownie.
For beautiful, clean-cut brownies, run a knife under hot water between each slice.
To store: Place brownies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To freeze: Place brownies in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
