These Flourless Turtle Brownies will be your next go-to brownie recipe! Super simple to make plus gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo with a vegan option!
To be honest guys, this recipe has been sitting in my drafts for almost three years. I’ve always wanted to post this recipe because its uh-maz-ing but the pictures didn’t do these brownies any justice.
So I remade them a few years later, and bam they are still turtely (pun intended) amazing as I remembered. The turtle combo of chocolate, pecans, and caramel really is a match made in heaven.
These brownies are rich and chocolately, just how brownies should be. And of course I wouldn’t be part of Athletic Avocado if I didn’t make them flourless💁
Pecan butter stands as the base to these beauties so no flour is necessary. Dark cocoa powder gives these brownies the mouth-watering intense chocolate flavor, and the caramel drizzle is the cherry on top!
I used store-bought caramel sauce to save some time, but you can also make your own healthier version instead (I made date caramel the first time I made these brownies.
So here is what you need to make these brownies:
pecan butter (homemade or store-bought)
dark cocoa powder
maple syrup
egg (or flax egg)
coconut oil
vanilla
baking soda
caramel sauce
chopped pecans
chocolate drizzle

I absolutely adore flourless brownies…such a fudgy, dense texture that way! And seriously such a brilliant idea to use a base of pecan butter for turtle brownies! Can’t wait to make these…I know my mom and I would both love them as we love all things turtle!
