Who would ever thought that chocolate brownies could be part of a healthy diet? I certainly did not think I would ever be eating these again when I changed my diet.
The good news is that this recipe for Paleo, Gluten Free Brownies are healthier than your typical brownie and can be enjoyed as a sweet treat because it is made with no refined ingredients and no grains or gluten.
These brownies have a wonderfully moist texture and a deep chocolate flavor. Brownies are often known to be either "fudgy" or "cakey" and I would describe these as a cross between the two. I am certain you and your kids will enjoy this recipe and will be asking for more!
