Dark Chocolate Flourless Brownies

 

These brownies are easy to make, grain-free, lower in added sugar and ...they taste amazing!

Ingredients: 

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!
