Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies

Paleo Vegan Brownie Recipe
vegan, gluten-free, plant-based, refined sugar-free

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp Flax seeds
• 3 Tbsp Water
• 1/4 cup Almond butter
• 3/4 cup Maple syrup or Honey
• 3/4 cup Dutched cocoa powder
• 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup Plant-based milk
• 1/2 Tbsp Baking powder        
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup Almond flour
• 1/2 tsp Apple cidar vinegar

Instructions:

1. Grind the flax seeds (either with a food processor, blender, or coffee bean grinder) and combine with water and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8x8 (for thicker brownies) or a 9x13 (for thinner brownies) baking pan with parchment paper.
3. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
4. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
5. Let cool completely before slicing.
6. The brownies are very fudgy and it can be difficult to cut them cleanly. It can be helpful to wet the knife between slices.
