Ingredients

4 servings

4 cups water, divided 2 cups chopped almonds 1 pinch salt cooking spray 3 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup honey ½ cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2®) 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Two-Tone Chocolate Brownies

Instructions

Step 1

Start by soaking the almonds in 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for at least 8 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain and rinse the almonds a couple of times. Next, pop the drained almonds into a blender with 2 cups of fresh water and blend until you get a smooth mixture, which should take about 2 minutes. Pour this almond blend into a large bowl.

Step 2

Now, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 11x15-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In the bowl with the almond mixture, add the flour, chocolate chips, olive oil, chia seeds, honey, powdered peanut butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir everything together until the dough comes together evenly.

Step 3

Spread the dough out in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula or fork. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the bars are cooked through and have a nice light golden color. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into bars and enjoying!
