I have made this so many times since I discovered this recipe. I love how versatile it is. Change the sweetener to change the flavor. Change the nut flour. Change from coconut oil to ghee (using coconut sugar instead of a liquid sweetener to compensate for the softer solid) I’m getting ready to try adding bee’s wax and putting the batter in a candy mold to see if I get a treat that can handle sitting out for a buffet.
40 Aprons has never failed to give me solid recipes. The holiday stuffing is spectacular.
We’re so thrilled you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for sharing your experience. 🙂
WOW! What a win! So easy. So impressive. So delicious. I used walnut milk instead of almond because it’s what was open. I subbed cayenne flavored date syrup and a little honey for 1 tbsp of the maple syrup. I forgot the salt.
I stuffed tea light holders with this and just leveled off the tops to put candles for a birthday treat. I brought them to dinner at an amazing gourmet healthy food restaurant Everyone thought they came from the gourmet healthy bakery next door. I have some hazelnut flour in my freezer. I’m trying that in the next batch.
I LOVE THIS RECIPE!
So glad this turned out so well for you! Hazelnut flour should be delicious!
The hazelnut is amazing.
The experiment with adding bee’s wax to make this into a finger food was a spectacular failure – but still quite delicious.
We’re so glad it still tasted good!
Unfortunately this tasted like coconut oil and the texture was not it. I had really high hopes so maybe it was me who screwed up but there was so much oil it was inedible for me
Sorry you did not enjoy this recipe! I appreciate the feedback.
I am interested in recipes for someone who is battling candida. can I replace the honey with almond butter or something else ? I am going to make these tonight
Yes 🙂 let us know how it goes!
Came out delicious! My kids and husband loved it. Honestly the chocolate chips were not necessary but didn’t ruin it. Love the texture. A quick and delicious dessert. I’m going to try different ingredients to sub the coconut oil (it added a great flavor but I try to limit fats)
I’m so glad y’all loved it! It’s definitely easy to switch up the ingredients, which one of the reasons it’s a big hit in my house.
Just made this! Amazing!! I was completely fooled! Closed my eyes and I was having my favourite flourless chocolate cake… but healthy! I’ve been having a hard time digesting sugar and flour and I’m so grateful for these recipes. Thank you for this! Will be trying other recipes for sure. <3
So glad you loved it!
Wow! It’s convincing as brownie batter! My kids didn’t realize they were eating something “healthy-ish” at all. Win!
That’s great! Love tricking kids into eating something “healthy-ish” haha!
We are OBSESSED with this recipe! Making it every weekend now as a sweet treat. Some times we leave out the cocoa powder, and then it is a delicious no-bake chocolate chip cookie batter! When we run out of maple syrup, we use honey or coconut sugar (with extra almond milk) and it turns out great. Thanks for your delicious recipes!
That’s a great idea! It’s definitely one of my favorite recipes for when I just need a little treat.
I like your concept but, I guess I need more info as I’m curious how this is a healthy recipe? As I notice this brownie recipe comes in at a whooping 778 calories, 57g of fat and 43g of sugar. Maybe I’m missing a detail. Sorry just have to ask. Thanks for any clarity.
That was actually just an error in our nutrition calculator. Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out!
I would love to try this for those times that I have a chocolate craving but I am diabetic (type-1). How can we make this more diabetes-friendly? Substitute the honey for agave nectar or monk fruit?
I would recommend Lakanto Monk Fruit maple syrup! You should be able to replace it 1:1. Let me know how you like it 🙂
