The long awaited Chocolate Sunbutter has finally graced us with its presence. This is a product combination that I, and so many others in the food allergy community, have dreamt of for years. It’s the most natural combination. Chocolate and Sunbutter were made for each other, in my opinion. Half the recipes I have posted on this blog that contain Sunbutter, also contain chocolate. So much so, that I have to reinforce to myself that there are other flavors that pair well with SB and that I should be conscious of mixing it up lest I become redundant. But my god do they ever go well together. The salty with the sweet. The earthy with the (nut-free) nutty. It’s heavenly. Now you can achieve that level of flavor nirvana without the use of a double boiler to melt your allergy friendly chocolate. Just open the jar and insert a spoon.
As with all Sunbutter products, the new Sunbutter Chocolate Sunflower Spread is free from top allergens and produced in a dedicated facility. Trust has never tasted so delicious.
These brownies embrace the incredible chocolatyness of the new chocolate Sunbutter. They are dense and fudgy, the type of brownies that you can’t wait to sink our teeth in to.

Ingredients for Top Allergen Free Brownies with NEW Sunbutter Chocolate Sunflower Spread
1 1/4 cup allergen-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life
1 cup mashed, super ripe bananas
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup avocado or canola oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup of a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour mix, such as Gerb’s or Creative Nature
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
How to make Top Allergen Free Brownies with NEW Sunbutter Chocolate Sunflower Spread
Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring often.
While the chocolate is melting, puree the banana in a food processor until it is completely liquified. Add the melted chocolate and pulse until smooth. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. You can use the same bowl that you melted the chocolate in, but be mindful that it may still be hot.
Add the vanilla, sugar, and oil and whisk until smooth.
Place a sieve over the mixing bowl. Pour the cocoa powder and gluten free flour into it and sift it through. This will remove any clumps that could spoil the texture of the brownies. Add the baking soda. Then fold it all together until the dry ingredients are fully combined.
Spread half of the batter into the bottom of your lined cake pan.
Use a spoon to dollop the Sunbutter on top, then gently spread it out with a knife or spatula.
Spread the remaining half of the brownie batter on top, like a Sunbutter and brownie batter sandwich. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt on top.
Bake for 18 minutes. The batter will rise and appear puffy. It should still be a bit soft in the center.
Allow the brownies to cool before slicing. It is best to slice in a downward motion and to avoid dragging the knife as it will teaer the brownies.
