Fudgy Paleo Brownies
Hey All! I am sooo pumped to share with you the richest, moistest, fudgiest paleo brownie recipe that I have ever made. SERIOUSLY people it is that good! They are packed with real, clean ingredients. Another excellent comment from Conor(the paleo food police..lol). Conor said, “THIS IS THE BEST PALEO BROWNIE!!” The recipe is from livinghealthywithchocolate.com BUT I added my own twist to it….step #7 melt the chocolate then add it to all the ingredients and mix well. Pour into pan lined with parchment paper. After that I sprinkled Enjoy Life Mega Chunks(dairy, nut and soy free) all over the top of the brownies(optional). YUM!* Little tip..buy creamy cashew butter. Soo much easier than making your own.
Is this low in calories? Hell No. You MUST watch your portions….Absolutely! I will eat a square of 1.5X2 or 2X2. That is plenty, eat slow, enjoy every bite. Perfect in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea.
Where can you get some of these ingredients?
Cacao powder.. Any health food store, Whole Foods.
Flaxseed meal…any grocery store or health food store
Enjoy Life Chips..Roche Brothers, Stop and Shop, Health food store
My 14 year old daughter Chloe makes the video’s for me. She is extremely talented at such a young age. I am very proud of her. Cooking video’s are very helpful for me when I am learning how to make something new. PLEASE keep in mind that I am just starting out and I am a little stiff(LOL) in front of the camera as of right now. I will get better. My good friends Rebecca and Jen are in this video. They are naturals in front of the camera. A short video and you will be sure to laugh a bit!
Chewy Fudgy Homemade Brownies (paleo, gluten-free)
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 egg
- ½ cup raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup 70% dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- preheat the oven to 350°F
- line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, covering all four sides of the pan
- in a food processor or high speed blender, process the cashews and water until creamy, scraping the sides as needed. Make sure you end up with a very creamy paste and there are no chunks of cashews remaining.
- in a bowl whisk the egg, then add all ingredients listed, including the cashew butter and chocolate, and mix to combine. Batter will be thick.
- pour batter evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes
- set pan on a wire rack to cool then cut into squares
- optional: melt about ¼ cup dark chocolate in a double boiler and drizzle over the top of each square. I do this by using a ziplock bag and cutting a small whole on one end.
