Dark Chocolate Flourless Brownies
These brownies are easy to make, grain-free, lower in added sugar and ...they taste amazing!
2 eggs
½ cup creamy or crunchy unsalted natural almond butter
½ cup honey
½ cup banana, mashed or ½ cup natural applesauce**
1/3 cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (the Enjoy life is great if you are dairy free)
Wax or parchment paper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, crack and beat the eggs with an electric mixer for a minute. Then add the almond butter, honey, banana, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix well until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into an 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 -35 minutes, until the top is slightly firm.
**I found that when I used banana that 25 minutes baking will was sufficient but when I used applesauce closer to 35 minutes was required.
Less baking time will create fudge-y brownies vs more will give more cake-y brownies. Store in the fridge. They also freeze well!
