One of my favorite readers, Courtney, requested this brownie recipe in a comment last week.
Here is what she said, “Can we have another VOTE?? Every post I am hopeful that I might open it up to find your recipe for scrumptious dark chocolate brownies… I am NEVER disappointed by your posts, but I am still hopeful that I may experience this recipe in the future…”
Now that is just too cute. How could I say no to this sweet request? Courtney lives in Tennessee and I was fortunate enough to meet her at one of my cooking classes here in Boulder, Colorado. She has a great website with all kinds of interesting natural products on it.
Furthermore, this is my older son’s favorite treat. Whenever I ask him what he would like me to bake for him, he says, “brownies.” He loves packing these higher-protein treats in his lunch for dessert.
So, there you have it, everyone! Brownies.
Last spring, I discovered this great Peanut Butter Bar recipe from celiacchicks.com which gave me the idea to make treats out of nut butters. When I coached my son’s little league team, I brought either these nourishing brownies, or Almond Butter Blondies to just about every baseball game.
I recently discovered a fun website called Flavorista.com. Low and behold, I checked it out this morning and saw a fantastic write up on gluten-free by the site’s author, Barr. What I liked best about her take on this timely topic, is that she is one of the few mainstream chefs to offer an “outsider’s” perspective on the world of gluten-free. Very refreshing, witty and informative. Thanks Barr!

Hi Elana, I think I might have wrote here in the past about how good these are, but I recently made a change (by my aunt’s request, as almond butter in Israel is extremely expensive) and gave a try for changing up the almond butter with tahini.
I want to say it came out pretty good, kind of like chocolate halva in a brownie form. It does need to be tweaked a bit next time, just because of the flavor differences, but the recipe is same as yours at the moment, aside from the almond butter/tahini change.
Thanks again, Lior
Thanks Lior! Greeting to you in Israel –I lived in Jerusalem in 1988 and it was amazing :-)
I absolutely love this recipe. I’ve been making these for a while now. I bake them in mini-muffin tins. Half a batch makes 36 bite size brownies. I only bake them for approx 15 min and they come out perfectly moist and delicious.
Angie, thanks for letting me know you absolutely love this recipe!
