I had to post about these brownies. First of all, we all know how much I love chocolate and to think of all the chocolate things I can’t enjoy anymore would overwhelm me to depression. That is why I am writing about these brownies, because they are heaven.
The other night for family night my son was in charge of dessert. My kids, being the awesome people they are, always want to make things that I can enjoy with them. So, he picked up my paleo cookbook and thumbed through the pages. It didn’t take long before he was excitedly asking me if we had all the ingredients to make brownies. Sure enough we had everything, with a few minor tweaks.
These brownies were so good none of us could keep our fingers out of them, including my anomaly child who doesn’t even like chocolate. Her and I were fighting over the batter bowl before they even got to the oven! (sometimes mother’s need to make a stand)
Try them for yourselves and tell me what you think!
