Paleo Blonde Brownies
Servings: 8 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup flavorless coconut oil or if you can have butter, use that, softened — pastured butter is best
- 3/4 cup almond butter — this is the brand she used --if you don't have anyone with nut allergies, you can just use organic peanut butter, and this gives them a wonderful peanut butter chocolate brownie taste!
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup real maple syrup or if regular sugar is okay, you could also use 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup almond flour — this is the brand she used
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips --amounts depend on how chocolaty you want it, I think about 1 cup is perfect — this is the brand she used
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325*. Mix butter with almond butter, add syrup, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and salt, then add that to the wet mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips, and spread into a greased 8×8 glass baking dish. Bake 35-45 minutes, but keep an eye on them at the end so they don't get over-done, and don't pull them out 'til they feel set. I like them soft and moist, but at first mine were TOO doughy.
