Enjoy this twist on your classic chocolate brownies. These chocolate brownies are made with almond butter and whole wheat flour. Yum!
2 T. unsalted butter, at room temperature
butter flavored non-stick cooking spray
1/2 c. almond butter
2 large eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. prune puree
2 t. vanilla
3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 t. fine salt
3/4 c. mini-chocolate chips
1/4 c. walnuts, chopped
1/2 t. flaky sea salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 inch pan with butter flavored non-stick cooking spray. Place a piece of parchment and hang over 2 sides of the pan for easy removal later.
Mix together butter and almond butter by hand in a large mixing bowl. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the butter mixture. Mix in the sugar, prune puree and vanilla.
Whisk together cocoa powder, flour and salt in a separate bowl. Gently stir this flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix by hand, just until combined, but do not over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the flaky sea salt.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownies comes out clean, approvimately 30 minutes.
Remove to a wire rack to cool; cut into squares.
Serve.
