1 c almond meal/flour
¼ c cacao powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ c almond butter
¼ c coconut oil melted
¾ c raw honey
1 egg room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ c chopped walnuts
2 oz dark chocolate such as Nohmad paleo chocolate, chopped into pieces (see shopping section below)

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9" spring form square baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside for a moment.
In your mixing bowl, mix together the almond butter, melted coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add in the dry mixture and mix well.
Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate.
Spray the inside of your baking pan and parchment paper with ghee or other preferred baking spray.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownie tests done in the center with a wooden pick.
Cool the brownies on a rack for 5-10 minutes, then remove the spring form side.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into portions.
Enjoy!

You can also use a standard 9-inch baking pan, I just find the spring form pans easier to use.
