Not Your Grandma’s Brownies

Secretly, we were so incredibly skeptical of these brownies. We bought a 100% cacao dark chocolate bar and felt so good for being “clean.” Then we both took a bite….OH MY. Bleh. It was terrible. So, we decided to cut it with an organic 60% cacao chocolate bar. You still get all the benefits and yummy flavor of the dark chocolate without the bitterness of the 100%. We also used a 100% completely clean cacao baking powder. The honey and almond butter do a great job naturally sweetening up these suckers. In the end, the batter looks exactly like boxed brownies. And, the finished product – that too!

These delicious brownies are gluten free and so easy to make. They have a “fudgy” texture that make them a favorite of kids and parents! This yummy recipe is from our Paleo Kids Cookbook.
