PALEO DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
PALEO DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Paleo Police turn your heads.... it's brownie time. And the rest of us like an occasional brownie that is gluten-free and doesn't wreak havoc on our stomachs, so if you don't like it, you have our permission not to eat them. More brownies for us!
I don't eat sweets often, and especially not chocolate. I may be the only woman in the world that doesn't really like chocolate that much (I know... I'm crazy). But every now and then I get a craving for a moist, chewy chocolate brownie, and this was one of those times. So I fumbled around in my cupboard and pulled out whatever I could find, and voila! Double Chocolate Paleo Brownies!
Paleo baking is tricky sometimes, and with these brownies you just need to make sure you don't over-bake them. You want the edges to be firm but the center will look like it's not quite done cooking (don't worry, it will finish setting while it cools).
Do you like nuts? Well then, go ahead and add and add in a half cup of your favorite chopped nuts when you add in the chocolate chips!

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 3/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 6 Tbsp. raw honey, warmed
- 1/2 cup ghee, warmed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 cup mega-chunk chocolate chips
Equipment:
- 2 medium sized mixing bowls
- Whisk or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon
- 8x8 glass baking dish
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and sea salt to a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir with a fork or whisk until well combined.
2. In another medium sized mixing bowl combine the raw honey, ghee, eggs, vanilla extract and almond milk and stir until well combined. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Pour the batter into an 8x8 baking dish and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until middle barely jiggles (start checking at 20 minutes, it's better to under-cook than over-cook these brownies...nobody likes a burnt brownie!). Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing - resist the temptation, you can do it!
