Paleo Flourless Chocolate Brownies

Although I still prefer old fashioned baking for myself, there is no denying that flourless, gluten free, sugar free, and many other recipes are becoming all the fad. I finally caved in and decided to try these 'imposter' brownies as I consider them. You know, I have to admit, they are pretty good! Now, you aren't gonna get the ooey gooey melty brownies we all know and love, but you do get a rich chocolatey taste in a thick moist cake, just don't get mad that I added a little agave syrup garnish on mine to add a little sweetness, however I would have used chocolate syrup did I have any in the house. Ooh I just realized, raspberry syrup would also be heavenly... Mmmm. 

Ingredients: 
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond ground
1/3 cup raw cocoa powder

4 large eggs
1/3 cup raw agave (or honey)
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup canola oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8x8 dish with non stick cooking spray.

Combine dry ingredients in small mixing bowl and set aside. In large mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients and whisk until combined. 

Add dry mixture to wet mixture stirring. Whisk or beat 2 minutes or until combined. Pour into dish and bake 25 minutes or until middle is set and toothpick comes out clean when inserted into middle (depends on thickness). 


These little bars are so rich that just a little sliver should satisfy your sweet tooth, and as you noticed I added a little agave nectar to mine for a touch of sweetness.
