Fudgy Brownie-Style Chocolate Almond Butter Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond butter (unsweetened, creamy)
  • ½ cup almond flour (superfine)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs (room temp)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (or honey; can swap with ½ cup coconut sugar)
  • 2 scoops (40–50 g) chocolate protein powder (optional, but boosts protein & richness)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (70–85%, melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • Optional: extra chopped almonds on top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 pan with parchment/butchers paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in melted dark chocolate.
  4. Add almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  5. Spread into pan and sprinkle optional crushed almonds on top.
  6. Bake 20–24 minutes, until edges are set but the center still looks slightly underbaked (they’ll firm as they cool).
  7. Cool completely before slicing for maximum fudginess.
FitnHealthy Forever Pro Tips for Ultimate Fudge Factor
  • Don’t overbake → the center should jiggle just a little when removed.
  • Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours after baking → makes them extra fudgy like a brownie bar.
  • Use a mix of cocoa + melted chocolate (done above) instead of only cocoa for richer texture.
