A New Favorite Recipe!!

I have recently become dairy, sugar, and iodized salt, free. But, while on a diet like this, it can be hard to adjust...and NOT giving in to that chocolate craving!!! ; )

So, to help to hone in on these dying-for-sugar moments, my mom found a really good, healthy, and simple recipe for a delish dessert!

Almond Butter Chip Bars
**(or Chocolate Almond Chip Brownies....in desired)


1-16 oz. organic creamy almond butter (not "Not Stir")

1 cup Blue Agave Nectar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 cup organic carob chips or organic dark chocolate chips



Mix almond butter with a hand blender until creamy. Add blue agave, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Mix half of the carob chips or dark chocolate chips into the batter. Pour batter into a well greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the rest of the carob or chocolate chips. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes. Once out of the oven, it will look like a puffed up souffle'. Let it sit for five minutes before cutting and serving. Substitute other organic nut butters for unique flavors.

**To make the recipe into more of a brownie-like taste, use chocolate almond butter. (But if you cannot find chocolate almond butter at your local grocery store, than you can add organic cocoa and additional agave nectar to the almond butter, before combining with the rest of the ingredients.) We used about 1/2 cup of organic cocoa, and about 1/4-1/2 cup (or to desired sweetness) of the blue agave nectar.

These are yummy!!!!!
