I have found in Paleo baking that one of the keys to achieving perfect baked good consistency is almond butter. Almond butter is a truly incredible thing that serves as a game changer in your baking. I do not know the science behind it, but almond butter can really serve as almost a substitute for flour in your baking (not in a direct way of course, but it can allow you to eliminate flour without a direct substitute).
These brownies are very simple and are quite delicious. I am still trying to tweak them to get the texture just right, but they are quite delicious, easy to make, and without too many hard to come by ingredients (other than the almond butter).
Ingredients:
1/3 C almond butter (the best place to buy is at Trader Joe's)
1/3 C butter, melted
1/2 C honey
1 T Vanilla
2 eggs
1 t baking soda
1/2 C cocoa powder
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1 t pumpkin pie spice (to add a little fall flavor)
Directions:
1. Whisk together almond butter, butter, honey, and vanilla.
2. Whisk in eggs
3. Add baking soda, cocoa powder, and sea salt and whisk.
4. Mix in desired amount of chocolate chips
5. Pour into greased 9x9 pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
