Almond Butter Brownies

These almond butter brownies are totally addicting and make the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day! They are free of flour, refined sugar, dairy and eggs. I adapted the recipe from Vani Hari of The Food Babe. I absolute love her blog and her passion for health. In this recipe, I used monkfruit sweetener which cuts down on the sugar and carbs, and won’t spike up blood sugar levels. The brownies will satisfy even the pickiest eaters. They are gooey and so delicious. If you feel like getting fancy, serve the brownies with raspberries and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
