These PALEO brownies are so good, you will absolutely fool your friends and family into thinking that you accidentally made “regular” brownies.
There’s no mistaking how good these are.
I’ve always been a big baked goods fan. So much so, that I used to refer to myself as a “carbivore.” One of the biggest challenges I have faced since “going paleo” is finding ways to make baked goods that taste as good as they are for you. Now I know, when doing the healthy WOE (Way Of Eating) you don’t really want to have a lot of sweets, no matter how good they are. But everyone needs a treat now and again. When it comes to bread or cake-like recipes, there’s always been one major set-back: texture.
Often low-carb baked goods have a very odd, “eggy” texture that can be very off-putting. These brownies amazingly have a great texture and my son was completely fooled into thinking they were “normal” brownies. I doubt he has any idea that they are anything otherwise and that is a good thing. That boy is super picky when it comes to treats. Heaven forbid he think there is any coffee in there! Hehehehe!
This really is probably the best paleo brownie recipe out there. Seriously, you’re gonna love them!
