Gluten Free Almond Brownies

With this homemade brownie recipe you’ll never want a box mix again! Chris and I love these rich, chocolate brownies on Friday nights when we watch our favorite show. They are so simple to make, sugar free (really important for me) and they taste amazing. You will fall in love with the flavor of fresh brownies you cook yourself.

These are sure to cure all your chocolate cravings and can be mixed up in minutes. I know what you are thinking right now, you are too busy for homemade brownies. Mixes from a box sound pretty convenient, but just make these once and you’ll taste the difference, and you definitely won’t be going back to the box.

What is important to me they are completely sugar and gluten free, no chemicals or weird substitute ingredients. Instead I used just a half cup of raw honey and almond flour as the main ingredients. Don’t forget real, unprocessed Cacao powder: http://amzn.to/2EnnUiS.

I top them with this yummy and creamy chocolate frosting using @nunaturals Cocoa Syrup. It’s delicious and absolutely sugar free. I’m using this Stevia based Cocoa Syrup in lots of my recipes lately and absolutely love it!
