Notes
Nut-free: I haven't tried these without nuts. They might work with 2/3 cup sunflower seed butter and regular flour instead of almond flour. Or try my Grainfree Chickpea Brownies with sunbutter.
Almond flour can be substituted with 1/4 cup regular flour if not making glutenfree.
** You can use Peanut butter instead of almond butter. Pb adds a stronger pb flavor.
Variations:You can make them without the strawberries for plain gluten and grain free brownies. or add other berries of choice.Add a swirl of nut butter on top for nut butter swirl brownies. Nutrition is for 1 slice
