Brownies....yes....I said a naughty word ;)

Sharla posted some yummy recipes and I thought I would share one of my favorite Paleo recipes. No processed sugars....and NO GRAINS. These seriously are delicious. I generally do not put the chips in there when I am on a no sugar challenge, unless you purchase certain kinds. (I believe I have found Ghirardelli bars that have worked in the past.) They are a little more pricey to make (obviously not your $1 box mix), but I have cut the cost by purchasing the almond butter at Costco.

This is from the website elanaspantry.com. This lady has some great tasty treats and she uses almond and cocount flours, as some of children have ciliac.
