Paleo Brownies

This actually makes 16 nice sized brownies.
I was skeptical that this would bake firm enough without any almond flour, but it turned out great. Really moist.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
• 1/3 cup raw honey
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• i tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a 9x9 pan. Bake 25-30 min until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean. For my oven, it took closer to an hour. So once you hit the 30 min mark, I'd frequently check it till toothpick is clean ;) 

Coconut Milk Fudgesicles
