Notes

*Almond butter can be substituted with any other kind of nut or seed butter

**Maple syrup can be submitted with coconut sugar. This may slightly alter the brownies to have a less fudge-y texture. 

***Coconut cream adds some richness to these brownies but is not crucial in this recipe. Coconut yogurt can be used in place of coconut cream.
