Hi Housewives!

For those of us in the pursuit of trying to eat healthier this recipe will help you when you have those sweet tooth cravings.  I am not following the paleo diet but will try different recipes that peak my interest.  They are sugar and flour free.  These are by far not the brownies you’d get from your Duncan Hines box.  However, they are good.  They have a naturalness about them that is hard to explain.  My husband likes them too.  So, for a quick dessert or snack during the week these are perfect.

• 1 cup of almond butter
• 1 egg

1/3 cup of pure maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons of ghee
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat your oven to 325.  In a bowl, whisk together the almond butter, egg, syrup, vanilla and ghee.  Then, stir in the cocoa powder and baking powder.  Pour in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.  If you prefer your brownies more well done then cook a little longer.

Enjoy!  Let me know how you like these or if you have any suggestions.
