Do you love brownies, but avoid it because you think it’s not good for you?  Fear no more! You can eat it once in a while… Here’s an easy recipe for making brownies with healthier ingredients – in fact, they are paleo brownies!

I would like to add one thing before we start though.  This is brownie like you imagine it! It’s almost more like a chocolate cake.  Well, no that’s not totally true.  It might be more like if a chocolate cake and a brownie got together and made some brownie chocolate cake babies.  Anyway, just wanted to let you know that before you start it and are confused!  🙂

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup almond flour/meal
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil (if going dairy free)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup of honey
• Chocolate chips(optional)

Instructions

0.  Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
1.  In a large bowl, mix your almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt together.
2.  If your butter is still in its solid state, throw it in a smaller bowl and heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds.
3.  Mix your liquid ingredients together:  Eggs, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
4.  Pour this liquid mixture into previous dry mixture, and mix it all together well.  You can use a hand mixer like I did to speed things up!
5.  (Optional) If you want to have chocolate chips, you can add it to this mix too.  I couldn’t make up my mind on the chocolate chips so I added it at the very end after I had already put the brownie mix in the pan.
6.  Now grab a 8×8 baking dish, and pour the brownie mixture in it.

6.  Bake this for about 30-40 minutes.  It kind of depends on your oven how long exactly, but a good way to check is to poke it with a toothpick.  If the toothpick comes out clean (it’s okay if there’s a few crumbs) then you’re good.
7.  Let it completely cool down before cutting it in to your desirable brownie sizes.  And then you get ready to shove your face!
