Eating healthy just got a lot sweeter. This recipe comes from Stephanie Lester, the owner of Caveman Cookies, a paleo cookie company. Here, she shares her secret recipe for brownies.
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 4-ounce dark chocolate bar
½ cup honey
8 ounces of hazelnut meal
8 ounces of unsalted almond butter
½ cup chopped hazelnuts
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
½ cup unsweetened sliced tart dried cherries (other unsweetened dried fruit may also be used)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
Directions: In a bowl, lightly whisk eggs; set aside. Break chocolate bar into pieces and combine with honey in saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat once chocolate is melted.
Combine all remaining ingredients in bowl with eggs; pour in chocolate-honey mixture. Mix well. Pour batter into parchment-lined or lightly greased baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes until firm to the touch.
