Finally! A pretty good dessert made with better-for-you ingredients.

Because of the lack of gluten, the brownies are a little crumbly, but the texture is good and moist because of the almond butter. 

Ingredients: cassava flour, almond butter, unsweetened cacao powder, coconut sugar, ground flax seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, coconut oil, baking soda, sea salt

Optional Topping Ingredients: 100% unsweetened cacao chocolate, coconut oil, sea salt

Tips/Notes:

• Used date sugar instead of coconut sugar
• Used melted butter on the pan instead of coconut oil
• Didn't add the optional topping yet but think it would give the brownies more richness
