GLUTEN-FREE, DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
* Recipe ‘revised’ from Civilized Caveman Cooking

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of almond butter (or use sunflower seed butter, cashew butter, macadamia nut butter or a mixture to total 2 cups)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup raw organic honey (melted) or Grade B Maple Syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Raw Cacao
• 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup ‘Enjoy Life’ (soy & dairy free) chocolate chips, melted (or dark chocolate)
• 1 very ripe banana

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 325 Degrees
2. In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, blend the butter and the eggs to make a smooth batter
3. Add in the natural sweetener and the vanilla and mix well
4. Add the salt, baking soda, and then SLOWLY add in the Cacao powder (cover top of mixer & bowl with a dish towel, or you will be dusted in cacao) (not a good look!)
   
5. With a rubber spatula fold in the melted chocolate and banana.
6. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish with coconut oil and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   

There were no unhealthy fats, gluten or refined sugars harmed in the making!  YUM!
