Brownies

Hello All!  Quick buzz in and out this morning.  I hope you survived the week in one piece, leaving yourself ready to celebrate with your family this Easter weekend.  Hoping the celebrations are many.  I'm throwing another goodie at you.  Lots of people make homemade brownies, and they are of course, delicious.  These are no different, with the exception that they are Paleo.  That doesn't mean they are weird or funky or anything like that.  Or that you will have a hard time getting the ingredients.  Not that either.  Not all grocery stores will carry both of the flours but they can be found. And as for the coconut sugar it can be ordered or an organic sugar would substitute, it would just no longer be Paleo.  And we think they are well worth it.  This is one of those recipes for a goodie that just seems a lot lighter to me.  Hope you enjoy!

Brownies

2 tablespoons tapioca flour

3 tablespoons coconut flour

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips or a 6 oz chocolate bar cut into chunks

1/2 cup butter, plus more to grease pan

1/3 cup coconut sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly grease an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish.

Whisk together tapioca flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in small bowl.

Melt butter, sugar, and chocolate together in either a bowl (via the microwave) or a sauce pot (via the stove).  Stir in vanilla extract and salt.  Whisk in the eggs.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.  Whisk to combine.

Pour the batter into baking dish, and bake until brownies are puffed in the center and not too jiggly when (gently) shaken, about 20 to 25 minutes.  Allow to cool in pan before cutting into 2 x 2-inch squares.
