I’ve posted about these brownies before, but these are a little different. And even better. If that’s possible.
I don’t like grains, but I do love a great brownie. My paleo challenge hasn’t taken away my love for sweets, so I’m so happy to have a treat that I can feel good about. But all that’s really BS because these are moist (thanks, Silk PureAlmond!), chocolatey, delicious brownies that need no reasoning to be made.
Recipe
yields 12 servings
Ingredients:
1 3/4 c. Almond meal
½ c. Cocoa powder
1 ½ t Baking powder
1 ½ t Baking Soda
½ t Sea Salt
2 Eggs
1/3 c. Honey
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 c. Silk PureAlmond Unsweetened Vanilla
1/3 c. Coconut Oil
3 T protein powder
2 c. chocolate Chips
Chopped Walnuts (Optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix all dry ingredients until well blended.
3. In separate bowl mix all wet ingredients and whisk well.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Batter will be thinner than normal brownies.
5. Add chocolate chips and pour batter into greased pan (I rub coconut oil along the bottom and sides of pan).
6. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top and bake 30 minutes. Cool completely before you enjoy!

I’m a big fan of Alton Brown’s brownie recipe, which only calls for 1/4 cup of flour and I omit it every time. They do contain sugar, but if you’re looking for a grain free jump start? I’d say go with Alton Brown.

is the protein powder paleo? it certainly seems to be accepted in vegan & paleo circles and I’m having a tough time accepting that.

As an avid baker I feel compelled to comment. According to the kitchen science blogs I follow (such as Test Kitchen) in comparisons between almond milk and regular milk, regular milk yields a moister outcome. The moistness in this recipe, therefore, is probably created by the almond flour.
Also, I feel absolutely compelled to tell your readers that MAKING YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK IS SO EASY – buying it is just a convenience. To make it you soak the almonds (overnight normally) then whizz in a blender for about three minutes, adding honey if you want a sweeter almond milk, then strain through a cheesecloth. That is it. The leftover pulp can be dried in a low oven then whizzed in a food processor to create the almond meal this recipe uses.

Yum! These look delish. Might make & freeze some of these this weekend! I’m curious what ingredient isn’t paleo? (God, I hope this doesn’t end up being a silly question!?) I’m attempting to incorporate paleo into my life slowly. So far I’ve revamped my mid-week breakfast, lunch & dinner, it’s the weekends that get me. Maybe THAT’S what they mean by 80/20! lol Thanks for the post!
