• Swap soy milk for oat or almond milk to adjust flavor or accommodate allergies.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for additional depth of flavor.
• For a less sweet version, reduce the maple syrup to 1/4 cup and add a little more salt on top.

FAQs

Can I make these brownies gluten-free?

Yes, these brownies are naturally gluten-free as they don’t include any flour. Just ensure your chocolate almond butter and other ingredients are certified gluten-free if you have sensitivities.

Can I substitute the flaxseed meal?

You can substitute ground chia seeds for flaxseed meal in equal amounts, but the texture and binding might vary slightly. Both ingredients help provide moisture and structure.
