Fudgy, decadent, delicious…the description goes on. These grain free, refined sugar free and dairy free brownies are the real deal. I’m 100% ok with my husband eating these for breakfast most mornings, however they are a treat all hours of the day! Enjoy!
Yields about 24 brownies
Decadent Fudgy Brownies
2 cups almond, cashew or sunbutter
2 eggs
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup date paste or 4 dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 350.
In large bowl, beat the maple syrup and dates or date paste until creamy. Blend nut butter, then slowly add eggs and vanilla extract.
Add cacao, baking soda and salt. Mix until well incorporated. Add chocolate chips, reserving some for the top.
Pour batter into 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 320 for 30-35 minutes.
Homemade Chocolate Chips
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate (100% cacao, organic is preferable)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey
Break baking chocolate into one inch pieces and place in thick saucepan or double boiler. Over a very low heat, melt baking chocolate. Once melted, take off heat and add maple syrup or raw honey and stir. Pour chocolate onto parchment paper and spread into a rectangle, about 8x12 inches. Place parchment in freezer. Once hardened (will take a few minutes), break into small pieces and use as chocolate chips.

Comments
I made these and shared them at work. I think I officially converted a few to the ‘life is better without refined sugar" ;), a friend commented that this was the best thing they’ve ever eaten..I’m biased toward your lemon bars so would have to place them in second. :)
