Brownie Base
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easy to lift the brownies out once set.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Assemble Brownies: Transfer the brownie batter into the lined pan. Press it down firmly and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top layer.
- Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the brownies to firm up.
- Serve: Remove the pan from the fridge, lift the parchment paper to take out the brownies, slice into squares, and serve chilled.
