Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use two long pieces of aluminum foil to cover an 8-inch square metal, ceramic, or glass baking pan, layering the pieces across one another and folding the edges over the sides of the pan.
-
In a small (1 ½ quart) heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat, mixing frequently to ensure the chocolate doesn’t burn.
- Transfer the pan from the heat once the chocolate is nearly melted and keep stirring to melt completely.
-
Use a silicone spatula to scrape the melted chocolate into a large mixing bowl. Add in the
applesauce and vanilla extract, then combine in the sugar and salt until the mixture forms a grainy batter.
-
Whip in the eggs one at a time, making sure the each individual egg is fully combined before adding the next.
-
Gently mix in ¼ cup of the almond flour at a time, and then add in the almonds.
- Transfer the batter into the lined baking pan, covering the pan evenly.
- Make the Almond Butter Swirl by using a silicone spatula or electric hand mixer on low speed to whip the almond butter, sugar, and apple sauce together.
-
Place individual spoonfuls of the almond butter swirl over the brownie batter and use the tip of a butter knife to gently swirl into the batter, being careful not to cut the foil that is lining the pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick or small knife inserted into the center
