Ingredients

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Pecan Topping Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8 or 9×9 square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the brownie layer. Combine all of the brownie ingredients together in a large bowl and mix with a large spoon. The batter WILL be thick, but it will come together in a cohesive mixture with a minute or two of mixing – just be sure to scrape the sides.
  3. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and use the spoon or a spatula to smooth the batter into an even layer, making sure to reach each of the corners.

  4. Bake the brownies for 5 – 8 minutes while you prepare the pecan topping.
  5. Make the pecan pie topping. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and coconut sugar into a medium sized pot. Heat the mixture until boiling while whisking – it will look separated at first, but will come together!
  6. Once boiling, cook for 1 minute while whisking (or until the sugar and coconut oil come together) and remove from the heat. Add in the vanilla, salt and nuts and mix!

  7. Remove the brownies from the oven and pour the pecan mixture over the top. Use a spatula to carefully smooth the pecan mixture over the entire pan of brownies.
  8. Return to the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing!
