Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup cocoa powder

• 1/4 cup cold-pressed olive oil

• 1/4 cup monk fruit sugar

• 2 eggs

• 3/4 cup raspberries (mashed to resemble jam)

• 2-3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no added sugar or salt)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking pan (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the batter:

   • In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and cocoa powder.

   • In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, monk fruit sugar, and eggs until smooth.

   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.

3. Mash the raspberries:

   • Use a fork to mash the raspberries in a small bowl until they resemble a chunky jam. Set aside.

4. Assemble the brownies:

   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

   • Dollop small spoonfuls of peanut butter and mashed raspberries alternately on top of the batter.

   • Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter and raspberry jam into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

5. Bake:

   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool and serve:

   • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy!
