If you think for a nanosecond that gluten- and refined sugar-free desserts can’t be delicious and decadent, think a nanosecond more. These turtle-inspired brownies are a craveable combination of gooey, chewy and chocolatey. Begin with the ease of an almond flour brownie mix, add a touch of sunflower butter, buttery coconut oil and pecans. Stir up the caramel sauce with all good things like honey, maple syrup and more sunflower butter for caramel flavor. The whole sweet treat comes together as a fudgy, cakey brownie base studded with pecans and a glorious drizzle of better-for-you caramel.
