Cashew Butter Swirl Gluten-Free Brownies
In my opinion there is no better combination than chocolate and nut butter. Do you feel me on this? I love dipping dark chocolate into cashew butter as a dessert at night so I thought I would level up by making gluten free brownies with a cashew butter swirl. And let me tell you, the result was ooey gooey brownie perfection.
To make these cashew butter swirl brownies, I used Open Nature® Gluten Free Brownie Mix and Creamy Cashew Butter as well as O Organics® brand coconut milk and chocolate chips. The good news is that I can find these ingredients exclusively at Albertsons and Safeway stores in my area. I love shopping here for more expensive products like Cashew Butter as I appreciate the extra savings I can get through the Albertsons and Safeway savings tool app when I am planning my grocery list for the week.
I love making “lazy girl” brownies by using a mix during the week when you have less time but extreme chocolate cravings. Mix it up with butter, vegan butter or coconut oil plus eggs and coconut milk. I am giving you the breakdown of the ingredients I used below plus adding in chocolate chips and cashew butter for the perfect combo.
Ingredients:
1 box Open Nature Gluten-Free Brownie Mix
3 tablespoons Open Nature Creamy Cashew Butter
1/2 cup O Organics Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
2 tbsp. O Organics Coconut Milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) of grass-fed butter, vegan butter or coconut oil*
2 eggs
Method:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Pour the brownie mix, melted butter, eggs and coconut milk into a medium bowl. Mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir a few more times. Scoop into an 8x8 baking dish and use a spatula to spread evenly. Distribute 1/2 tablespoon scoops of the cashew butter on top of the brownies so they are spaced apart from each other. Using a knife, drag it through the batter from once side to the other making a swirl pattern and rotating the pan to each side. Bake for 35-40 minutes – little longer than the package instructions because of the cashew butter addition.
*I have only made with grass-fed butter but vegan butter and coconut oil should make great alternatives.
Let the brownies cool for at least 20 minutes (if you can contain yourself), slice and enjoy! Trust me, these won’t last long.
Also good news, if you are eating more plant-based or gluten-free for health reasons, your local Safeway and Albertsons stores have thousands of products to choose from. I especially love O Organics because they are USDA certified I ca find all my favorites at affordable prices and Open Nature makes products with simple ingredients and great quality. In the San Francisco area Open Nature products are available exclusively at Albertsons and Safeway.
Try any of these clean, free-from Open Nature products and USDA certified organic O Organics products exclusively at stores and online.
